"Pretty Woman" Cast Discusses the Making of a Musical

The Carnegie Mellon University community attended a talkback with members of "Pretty Woman: The Musical." They included producer Paula Wagner and actor Matthew Stocke, who are both graduates of Carnegie Mellon. On the eve of the 2019 Tony Awards, the cast of "Pretty Woman: The Musical" gave members of the Carnegie Mellon University community an inside look at the making of the production. Some 150 alumni, faculty, staff and students were in attendance of Saturday's matinee performance, followed by a talkback session with the cast and producer Paula Wagner , a 1969 graduate of CMU. The talk was moderated by School of Drama Head Peter Cooke. The show is based on the 1990 movie directed by the late Garry Marshall, who co-wrote the musical. Since it opened last summer, "Pretty Woman: The Musical" has been breaking box-office records.
