FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman review – Broadway romcom transfer is a tasteless disaster
2 / 10

Tuneful, schlocky, and deeply offensive unless you have a take-it-or-leave-it approach to female agency, the Broadway musical Pretty Woman turns on the adorably chaste question of whether or not a boy and a girl will kiss on the lips. They will. But only after they've kissed everywhere else first. Not that you will see any sex. This love story about a free-spirited prostitute and her john is a family show! Get your mind out of the proscenium.

‘Pretty Woman’ review: Musical adaptation sticks too close to the original film
6 / 10

To its credit, 'Pretty Woman' is adequately and competently handled - and it is far better than the other two new Broadway musicals to open this summer: the bewildering Go-Go's jukebox musical 'Head Over Heels' and the embarrassingly amateurish 'Gettin' the Band Back Together.'
