PRETTY WOMAN, SAVOY THEATRE, LONDON
My daughter and I were super excited to watch Pretty Woman The Musical. It had been put back 3 times due to the pandemic so to go to the theatre again was so exciting! However, we were left a little "underwhelmed". Not sure if it was nerves as the show only opened the day before, but some of the performances were not great. Stand-out performances were by Danny Mac as Edward and Bob Harms as Mr Thompson. Vivian was a bit vanilla (not great casting) and some of the ensemble looked like they didn't want to be there! If you didn't know the story, you would wonder why it is called Pretty Woman. It looked and felt a bit amateur-ish; not what you'd expect at £150 a ticket. Such a shame as we were so looking forward to it!

PRETTY WOMAN
This is my favourite film of all time so was looking forward to the musical but was totally underwhelmed by it, Danny mac was good but I think they chose the wrong actress to play Vivian coupled with the fact that there was no music from the original film it was quite a let down.

IF YOU LOVE THE MOVIE YOU WON’T LOVE THIS
Really disappointed, as a super lover of the film disappointed with this. As well as the story of the film you love the songs but the show doesn’t have those, so it’s just a quick version of the movie missing some iconic moments. Unfortunately didn’t feel the leading lady did any justice to Vivian and missed this she was portrayed in the film. The gentleman who played the hotel manager was good and played the part well, disappointed Edward was replaced with understudy had come to see Danny Mac. I would recommended this to a pretty women film lover it’s just not the same. Some other comments mention the outfits and I would agree felt they wardrobe budget was impacted by covid or something!

DISAPPOINTED
We went to see the pretty woman with high expectation, but to our surprise its the opposite. I wouldnt say it just a waste of money bec watching musical is an experience of a lifetime but sad to say it is. It is nothing like the movie, its far from the movie, all of the songs that are in the movie wasnt in the musical except for the pretty woman song itself that was played in the last part of the show but not expectaculous. Very very disappointed. I thought it was going to be better than it was.

PRETTY WOMAN SUNDAY 20TH FEB
Totally Disappointed... I purchased these tickets for my Daughter who is a big fan of Danny Mac , She was totally upset to see he was replaced by an understudy who had no Charisma or charm and the leading lady was also replaced by a debut actress who with Edward had no chemistry whatsoever . As well as the story of the film you love the songs but the show doesn’t have those, so it’s just a quick version of the movie missing some iconic moments. The gentleman who played the hotel manager was the best thing about the show and played the part brilliantly , At £200 for tickets we feel totally robbed .

VERY DISAPPOINTED
After being rescheduled twice during the pandemic I was really looking forward to this show - it was a HUGE disappointment. The staging and production was very poor and amateurish. Not a sign of the cars at the beginning or end, if Miss Saigon can do an amazing helicopter scene surely a car would be possible!! For the price of the tickets, I expected more 😔👎

PRETTY WOMAN BORING
Thought costumes were like something from a school play as well as the acting Vivienne American accent to loud and screeching along with her co actress very disappointed
