"With its world- famous title and grand artistic value the production will adorn and strengthen Hamburg ?s reputation as continental

Europe's musical capital. We are excited for our audiences to fall in love all over again with PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL, but this time with an all new score by rocker Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance." "I've toured Europe for over 30 years and I love the audiences in Germany, so I am delighted PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL will have its European premiere in Hamburg," said composer Bryan Adams. "It is a story of two very different people falling in love - which is always an important message, especially in times where there are people who discriminate against people who may be different from themselves. Love and love stories are important and we want to remind the
audience that there is never enough love in the world."

"Hamburg LOVES Theater and I LOVE Hamburg. I am thrilled to be returning to work with our friends at Stage Entertainment to launch the first International company of PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL at Stage Theater an der Elbe," said director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell.
