What’s On | From August 2023

Welcome to the New Victoria Theatre

As 2023 rolls on, we’re looking ahead to a jam-packed autumn programme of musicals, comedy, drama, panto and everything in between. To complement the fabulous shows on stage, our Nova Cinema’s Nova Live programme also brings the best in drama, ballet and opera to the big screen. Whatever your taste in entertainment, we recommend booking early to make sure of your seat!

Once the tickets are secured, why not enhance your visit with pre-show dining at Pizza Al Teatro. Located within the Piano Bar on the middle level of the theatre, Pizza Al Teatro provides the perfect setting to enjoy our freshly made sourdough pizzas whilst soaking up a slice of the pre-show atmosphere.

If you don’t have time to dine, you can still make the most of the evening (or afternoon!) with our range of drinks packages, or treat yourself to the Ambassador Lounge Experience for a really special touch. More details are available on the website or when booking tickets.

For more venue news and exclusive content direct from our teams, you can follow us on social media or sign up to our mailing lists. In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming you through our doors in the coming months.

A Cinderella Story for Our Time

Pretty Woman: The Musical brings big dreams and big hair to Woking.

In 1990, the romantic Hollywood blockbuster Pretty Woman, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, took the cinema-going public by storm. Made on a budget of just $14 million dollars, it earned over $463 million in global box office receipts and transformed Julia Roberts from a hot Hollywood newcomer into an international superstar. In every sense, the film was a fairy tale for the modern age. The timeless story begins when Edward, a successful businessman who doesn’t have time for a conventional relationship, resorts to unconventional means. With no lady to help him entertain his influential clients, he hires escorts to fulfil the role of partner on an ‘as needed basis’. Unexpectedly, Edward falls for the beautiful, free-spirited Vivian Ward over a series of dinners and dates. He sweeps her off her feet and changes her life forever.

If you think this story can only be brought to life on the big screen, you’d be wrong. Pretty Woman: The Musical is a dazzlingly theatrical take on this iconic love story. It’s essentially a reluctant Prince Charming, being lost in the spell of an unlikely Cinderella as Vivian transforms herself from brash Hollywood streetwalker to a princess for keeps. Pretty Woman: The Musical has everything you need

to lift your spirits and light up your heart, with big musical scores, big characters and, of course, big hair!

Featuring incredible original music and lyrics by GRAMMY Award-winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, a book by Garry Marshall and the film’s screenwriter J.F. Lawton, it is directed and choreographed by the two-time Tony® Award-winner Jerry Mitchell. Of course, no musical with such a title could be complete without the classic Roy Orbison track, Pretty Woman. If any show in 2023 is guaranteed to make you smile, it has to be this one.

In an interview in Playbill in 2017, director Jerry Mitchell said that the score ‘will have the feel of late 80s-early 90s rock: That’s one of the great things about Bryan Adams – it’s where he lives. So, you’ve got the rock and roll stuff, the up-tempos.’ *

Perfect with mates or dates, you’ll experience all of the classic moments and one-liners you love from the film – but also get to know these iconic characters in a whole new way. So, with the show now embarking on a highly successful UK tour, we’d encourage you to head to Beverly Hills for a night and witness one of the most iconic love stories of all time. It’ll be a big night out. Big. Huge!
