Pretty Woman the Musical, starring Amber Davies and Ore Oduba, is coming to Bromley and Canterbury

The rom-com is heading out on its first UK tour, with Love Island winner Amber Davies and TV host Ore Oduba leading the cast at theatres in Bromley and Canterbury.

The show is based on the 1990 film, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, which became a blockbuster hit and was nominated for an Academy Award.

When sex worker Vivian (Roberts) heads back to the hotel room of wealthy businessman Edward (Gere), one night turns into a week and the pair form a close bond. However, their relationship soon faces many obstacles as they realise quite how different their two worlds really are.

The film has now been turned into a show-stopping musical, with a score from Grammy Award-winning singer Bryan Adams - who is set to perform in Margate this summer - and songwriter Jim Vallance.

Since its West End debut in 2020, the show, which is also directed by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, has been performed in North America, Poland, Spain and Ireland.

The touring production stars Amber Davies, who will step into Julian Roberts’ thigh-high boots as Vivian.

Amber, who won the third series of reality dating show Love Island in 2017, has since appeared in a number of stage shows, including Back to the Future and 9 to 5 the Musical.

She will be joined by TV host and Strictly Come Dancing champion Ore Oduba, who will play the role of the show’s narrator and Hollywood guru.
