The rags-to-riches story that launched Julia Roberts into superstardom gets the musical treatment, courtesy of the movie’s legendary director Garry Marshall and screenwriter J.F. Lawton. Step into Hollywood and relive all your favourite glamourous, charming and quoteable moments, all accompanied by an electrifying 80s score.
Besides the iconic Roy Orbison song that gives the film its name, expect to dance in your seat thanks to dazzling choreography from Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, and Grammy winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance’s original score. Inspired by the era-defining music of the time — we would expect no less from the artist behind the timeless “Summer of ’69” — the musical’s songs will stay with you long after the curtain drops.
The show follows the story of Vivian, a lively Hollywood call girl with a heart of gold, who crosses paths with wealthy businessman Edward. What follows is a love story that is as touching as it is laugh-out-loud funny, and it will be debuting at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre this October! Keep an eye out for tickets and join the waitlist here.
