MUMBAI: The musical adaptation of the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman has laid out its route to Broadway, with a team that includes musician Bryan Adams.

The team also includes the director of the film Garry Marshall, as well as a cast led by Samantha Barks, one of the stars of the film version of Les Miserables, reports variety.com.

The musical will play a tryout run at a theatre in Chicago in spring 2018, with a fall 2018 opening planned on Broadway at one of the theatres owned by the theatre company Nederlander Organization.

Pretty Woman will have a score by Adams, who has crooned a string of hits like Summer of '69 and I Do It For You.

Barks will make her Broadway debut in Pretty Woman, with Kazee returning to Broadway for the first time since Once, the 2012 musical that won him a Tony for lead actor in a musical. 

No other casting has yet been set. The movie Pretty Woman starred Julia Roberts, opposite Richard Gere. The storyline follows the unexpected romance that develops between a prostitute and the businessman who hires her.

Pretty Woman will play a five week run at Chicago's Oriental Theatre starting 13 March.
