International tour of Pretty Woman musical

Overview

The stage adaptation of the 1990 film "Pretty Woman" launched a 2026 international tour, beginning with a run at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre that lasted through mid‑September. The production, featuring a new score by Canadian songwriters Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, starred Australian performers Samantha Jade and Ben Hall, and received mixed reviews that praised the vocals but noted pacing issues.

Following the Australian leg, the musical moved to South America, opening at Santiago’s Teatro San Ginés for a two‑week engagement in early August. Chilean actors Magdalena Müller and Nicolás Oyarzún led the local cast, with the show retaining the original songs and overall format while catering to regional audiences. Both stops highlighted the show’s blend of rock‑pop music and the film’s romance, targeting audiences aged 14 and over.

The consecutive productions illustrate the show's strategy of reaching diverse markets with localized casts while maintaining core musical elements across continents.
