There is something inherently comforting about a Movie-to-Musical adaptation that knows exactly what it is. PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL, currently playing at Crown Theatre, doesn't attempt to reinvent the wheel or modernize the 1990 classic into something unrecognizable. Instead, it leans into the neon-drenched nostalgia of the era, delivering a production that is as slick, polished, and bright as a Hollywood storefront.
