Read all the reviews for the National Tour of Pretty Woman, which is now on stage touring the country. See what the critics thought!

I'm not the biggest fan of romantic comedies-so predictable and just too much, well, drama you know? Probably why the movie studios have shied away from these over the past 18 months. Who needs more depression? But THE 1990 PRETTY WOMAN has always been a rare feather in the Rom Com hat and the launching of the North American Tour of PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL at the Providence Performing Arts Center proved no different.

Performances of PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL at the Fabulous Fox run November 16-28. Show times are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m., Sunday afternoons at 1 p.m. and Sunday evenings at 6:30 p.m. There will also be a matinee performance on Thursday, November 18 at 1 p.m.

Single tickets for ten shows in the Fabulous Fox Theatre’s 2021 – 2022 U.S. Bank Broadway Series will go on sale Tuesday, September 14 at 10:00 a.m.  Tickets will be available online, by phone, and in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.
