Pretty Woman the Musical is Coming! 15 Other Films Who Got the Broadway Treatment!

Pretty Woman is coming to Broadway! The classic 1990 romantic comedy that cemented the superstar status of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is being turned into a stage musical, according to director Garry Marshall.

Though it’s hard for us to visualize the love story between a wealthy businessman and a prostitute being acted out in song and dance numbers, we trust it will be just as sweet as the original!
