Oh, Pretty Woman

Walking down the street and into Atlantic City this year! The smash-hit musical adaptation tells the story of a ruthless and driven business tycoon, Edward, who specialises in taking over businesses and then selling them off, piece by piece, totally unsympathetic to the hundreds of employees' lives he destroys. During a trip to LA, he finds himself without a partner for a series of schmaltzy functions, so he hires a sex worker to act as his escort. The lady he chooses is Vivian, who, much like Edward, goes about her work with a clinical detachment.

As their week together progresses, this usually isolated couple find themselves utterly comfortable in each other's company and discovers that they might just be falling for each other. Can this blossoming romance turn both of their lives around?

Originally intended as a darker exploration of sex work and class, the movie underwent many changes before becoming the classic we love today, helped in part by the undeniable chemistry between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.
