Okay, Broadway Across Canada. You've made up for the train wreck of a show that was Anastasia a few weeks ago. Landing at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre is the musical adaptation of the iconic film Pretty Woman.
Much to my surprise and delight, it stars RENT's original Roger - Adam Pascal - in the Richard Gere role of Edward. And newcomer Jessie Davidson delights in the role of Vivian, which is a feat since who can really fill Julia Roberts' boots?
It's got pretty much everything you would want, if you're a fan of the film. The songs and music, written by Bryan Adams with Jim Vallance, were not the greatest and fairly forgettable, but decent enough to entertain. The sets were fun and elaborate enough for a touring Broadway show. All in all, a good time out! And I repeat, you get to see ADAM PASCAL perform!!!
If you don't go see this, it's a big mistake. Big. HUGE.
Pretty Woman is on now until April 2 in Vancouver.
