Pretty Woman – The Musical at McAllen Performing Arts Center

Your all-time favorite movie is coming off of the screen and onto the live stage this spring! Based on the nineties cult classic movie starring heartthrobs Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, the musical rendition of Pretty Woman debuted on Broadway in 2018 and transferred over to the West End in February 2020. And now, it’s getting ready for a highly anticipated national tour, making a huge stop at the esteemed McAllen Performing Arts Center on Tuesday 18th March 2025.

Pretty Women is a modern Cinderella story. It follows a rich businessman and a free-spirited escort, as he hires her to spend the weekend with him. Not long after, Vivian and Edward realise that their connection stretches beyond a simple transaction.

Inked by the incredibly talented Garry Marshall and J.F. Lawton, who were the original creative team behind the smash hit movie, this stage rendition doesn't stray far as it reimagines all of the iconic, quotable moments straight from the silver screen. Except this time, you get to experience all the magic LIVE!

In this stage adaptation, EVA GARY takes the leading role as the charming Vivian Ward. While this is Eva’s national tour debut, we expect her to shine brighter than ever like in her roles in Legally Blonde (Elle Woods), Rock of Ages (Sherrie), Kinky Boots (Lauren). Other cast members include: JACK RASMUSSEN as Edward Lewis, TAMARA DALY as Kit De Luca, DOMINIC PAGLIARO as Philip Stuckey, and MAX CERVANTES as Happy Man. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the creative team includes: BRYAN ADAMS (Music & Lyrics), JIM VALLANCE (Music & Lyrics), GARRY MARSHALL (Book), J.F. LAWTON (Book), JERRY MITCHELL (Director/Choreographer), WILL VAN, DYKE (Music Supervision, Arrangements and Orchestrations), ​​CHRISTINE PETERS (Tour Scenic Design), KENNETH POSNER (Lighting Design), and JOHN SHIVERS (Sound Design).

Ultimately, this is “a story that makes you smile and fills you with nostalgia.” That sounds like a perfect evening to us! Call your loved ones, mark your calendars and sing along to the movie’s iconic soundtrack with “Anywhere But Here,” “I Can't Go Back” and “Oh, Pretty Woman” this spring!
