Singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, who wrote the music and lyrics for Pretty Woman: The Musical, alongside Jim Vallance, will be at QPAC in Brisbane today to make the official announcement.
“I’m thrilled Pretty Woman is finally in Australia, I went to see it last year and it blew me away!” said Bryan Adams.
The musical broke box office records at the Nederlander Theatre when making its Broadway debut in 2018 and has also wowed audiences in Spain, Italy, Poland and Germany as well as an extended West End season. Local casting announcements will be made in the coming months.
