Strut down Hollywood Boulevard and live in luxury at a Beverly Hills hotel with the cast of Pretty Woman. The musical, based on the 1990 film, is swapping the Walk of Fame for theatres all over the UK as it continues its nationwide tour, including five nights in Canterbury . The show stars former Love Island contestant and musical theatre star Amber Davies as Vivian, a sex worker who struggles to make ends meet in downtown Hollywood.
Amber, who recently appeared in Back to the Future The Musical on the West End, is also known for winning the third series of Love Island in 2017. Since becoming a famous face on the reality dating show, has been part of musicals such as 9 To 5 and Bring It On. She will step into the thigh-high boots of Julia Roberts, who appeared in the blockbuster rom-com alongside Richard Gere and earned an Academy Award nomination for her role.
Amber will be joined on stage by Ore Oduba, who will play the dual character of Happy Man / Mr Thompson. The role will see the One Show presenter double as a Broadway-type narrator and a stern hotel manager with a soft side for the current production. The TV host is known for performing in the Rocky Horror Show and Grease, as well as winning Strictly Come Dancing with his dance partner, Joanne Clifton, in 2016.
The tour also stars Oliver Savile as Edward, a high-flying businessman who pays for Vivian to spend the week with him and ends up falling head over heels for her, despite their vastly different lifestyles. The musical features an original score by Grammy Award-winning singer Bryan Adams, who recently performed a headline gig in Kent , and songwriter Jim Vallance, as well as some songs from the film such as Roy Orbison’s Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman will be at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury from Tuesday, July 30 to Saturday, August 3.
