Garry Marshall Says Pretty Woman Stage Adaptation is 'A Year Away'

Well color us happy, the stage adaptation is on its way! Garry Marshall has revealed that the previously reported Pretty Woman musical is “a year away but Disney’s behind it.” The legendary director told Deadline: “We’ve had a couple of little readings of it with temporary music, and it’s not bad. It’s still a darn good story.”

The blockbuster movie, which memorably paired Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, follows the story of a Hollywood streetwalker and the corporate tycoon who hires her—and then falls for her. Think Pygmalion and My Fair Lady but with big hair and sleazy attire.

Marshall, producer Paula Wagner and screenwriter J.F. Lawton are all working on the show. Although Marshall is most famous for his film work, he is no stranger to the stage and recently helmed Billy & Ray off-Broadway.
