FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman, Broadway, review: a middling romcom transformed into a musical hit
8 / 10

The purest prostitute on Hollywood Boulevard is plying her trade on Broadway in Pretty Woman: The Musical. The romcom that catapulted Julia Roberts to stardom in 1990 has been repurposed for the stage in a joyous production that should do the same for the career of British actress Samantha Barks. Despite the movie's enduring popularity, its appeal has always eluded me, not so much because of its sanitised depiction of streetwalking as its hazy characters and sluggish pacing.

Is “Pretty Woman” on Broadway a Big Mistake?
4 / 10

Stepping into Julia Roberts's leather boots, Samantha Barks, from the 'Les Misérables' film, is agreeable as Vivian, and Andy Karl-who proved how well he could play charming assholes in 'Groundhog Day'-is an appealingly handsome Edward. The bright spots, though, come from the supporting cast, including Eric Anderson, double cast as Barney and a street vender selling maps to the stars, and Orfeh, who, as Kit, actually seems to be having fun. But it's clear that the all-male creative team hasn't interrogated the story, beyond selling T-shirts that pair the title with phrases like 'Funny Woman' and 'Strong Woman.'
