PRETTY WOMAN: The Musical is now on at Artscape, Cape Town until 19 March! The classic ‘90s story (who can forget the famous film starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere) that premiered as a stage musical on Broadway in 2018 and has also enjoyed acclaimed runs in the West End and tours across North America and Europe. Now it’s South Africa’s turn, and audiences are loving this show. Tickets selling fast for the Cape Town run so don’t delay, get your tickets now at showtime.co.za or ticketmaster.co.za.
PRETTY WOMAN: The Musical’s remarkable all-South African cast includes recently announced winners at the Naledi Theatre Awards. Two of the show’s leads who received awards for their work in other productions, are Leah Mari, who stars as the vivacious Vivian Ward, winning Best Lead Performance In A Musical Theatre Production: Female category for her role in My Fair Lady; and Daniel Conradie who plays the sleezy Philip Stuckey in PRETTY WOMAN winning the Best Breakthrough Performance in a Musical Theatre Production for his role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
Pretty Woman: The Musical is the story of the unlikely romance of the rough-edged Vivian and refined businessman Edward. It is uplifting and full of joy, combining love, laughter, nostalgia and toe-tapping songs to make each performance a fun experience down memory lane.
The show’s music, including powerful solos like “Freedom” and “I Can’t Go Back” and showstopping ensemble pieces like “Welcome to Hollywood” and “Together Forever” written by rock superstar Bryan Adams and his longtime songwriting partner Jim Vallance delivers a dynamic, emotionally charged score that perfectly captures the romance, glamour and energy of the story.
Timeout magazine hails the show a “…. Cinderella-style arc that makes it so elatable and enjoyable” while The Cape Robyn calls Pretty Woman: The Musical “… an upbeat and fun show, with a hugely talented cast”. 2 Oceans Vibe summarises the production as “…. the show delivers exactly what it promises: A joyful escape into nostalgia.”Biz Community says Pretty Woman is “entertaining, funny, polished, and filled with strong performances and Theatre Scene Cape Town enthuses about the show’s “amazing vocals, warmth and humour.”
