How many women can carry off the challenge of looking glamorous in thigh high boots and little else? We know Julia Roberts could thirty years ago and Ellie Baker can today as Vivian Ward. To prove the fashion statement, Waterbury’s Palace Theater is rocking the house today, tomorrow and Thursday, October 10, 11, and 12 with the iconic romantic tale of the century “Pretty Woman” as a musical.
Romantic comedy surely sits in heaven on Cloud 9, thanks to an original score by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, with a book by Garry Marshall, showcasing the hit tune “Oh, Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison and Bill Dee.
When wealthy business tycoon Chase Wolfe’s Edward Lewis needs a beautiful escort as his date for an important event, he hires a professional lady of the evening Vivian Ward. Their unusual relationship goes wild, much like an out of control roller coaster ride. How they adjust to their differences and find common ground and, unbelievably love, is a true charmer that has fascinated and thrilled millions in movie form with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and now is in glorious musical form.
After a record breaking Broadway run, the National Tour is going around the globe across the USA and to London and Germany.
For tickets ($47-87), call the Palace, 100 Main Street, Waterbury at 203-346-2000 or online at wwwlpalacetheaterct.com. Performances are tonight, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Do you believe in love? “Pretty Woman” will surely convince you that fairy tales do come true, with or without a knight in shining armor or a prince charming.
