Entertaining,but don't spend your rent money
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
The lead singer's voice lacked in comparison to the second singer-the hooker. The costumes, dancing and stage set were very good but the lead did not pull it off.

I'm not a fan of theatre but this was great fun
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
Was in Chicago for St Patrick's Day. Went to CIBC Pretty Woman purely because it was a "must do"tourism thing to see a broadway show in Chicago. Alternatives in my available timeslot included such upbeat options as, "Diary of Anne Frank."I'm glad I went. The architecture inside the theatre is breathtaking. The view was exactly what I expected for the ticket price. The seats were a little squishy. A very well run theatre, from front of house keeping lines moving and safe, to a pleasant bar experience with good wine, presumably at every main aisle/floor. The production was fantastic! Very talented cast, clearly having fun with their roles. Great tunes/dialogue/refrains that didn't feel forced. Excellent repartee/script between the main characters. Good occasional slapstick without being ham-fisted. Lots of background movement if you got bored. Scenes kept short and polished. Reminded me of great stand-up: if one gag didn't land, there was another around the corner. Gay characters a bit one-dimensional and played up, Tim Curry style, for campness. Eye-catching "risque"costumes (on some absolute smoke-show women; I'm told the men were good too). Several of the cast produced total belters of a sustained final note, without degenerating into indulgent jazz. Choreography was modern and varied, without being too inspired by Fortnite/TikTok. Thoroughly enjoyable. I sincerely hope the cast and crew get the credit they deserve for this great show.

Great show!
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
It was way better than I expected. The people in the show were all incredible. The story was great. The singing was great. I would definitely recommend it even though I got dragged to it by my wife. Lol.

Great show
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
Great show. Awesome choreography. Songs were really enjoyable, but the melodies aren't easy to recall. Horrible rowdy tipsy audience though. Probably due to St Patrick's Day.

Fun
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
I love anything broadway, and especially musicals. This was no exception! The seating/layout at this theatre though isn’t as good as the Nederlander Theatre but we had a great time nonetheless.

Loved the humor and singing!
CIBC Theatre - Chicago
We went with another couple and all four of us enjoyed the show! I had forgotten about all of the humor in Pretty Woman! The songs were catchy and the singers were talented! The actor who played Edward was amazing - acting, singing, dancing, and piano playing! The actress who was Kit had a beautiful powerful voice! Loved the bell hop! And the woman who sang opera was talented!
