Unlikely soulmates Vivian and Edward step off of the silver screen and onto the stage at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Pretty Woman: The Musical, opening Feb. 19. The first musical of Beef & Boards’ 2026 Season, Pretty Woman features national tour veterans leading the cast, and all of the iconic moments from the popular film.
When Edward asks Vivian for directions in late 1980s Los Angeles, she unknowingly sets them both on a course that will change their lives forever. From the glamour of Rodeo Drive to the vulnerability of two people breaking down barriers, Pretty Woman celebrates transformation, connection, and the power of taking chances on love.

Kucera
National tour veterans Dani Kucera and Charlie Fusari headline the production as Vivian Ward and Edward Lewis, respectively. Kucera, who made her Beef & Boards debut as Vivienne Kensington in Legally Blonde and performed as a swing and understudy for Vivian Ward in the recent Pretty Woman National Tour, steps into the leading role. Fusari, making his Beef & Boards debut, brings his experience from the same tour, where he performed in the ensemble and understudied his starring role as Edward, the corporate mogul with a guarded heart. Ariana Valdes also makes her Beef & Boards debut as Vivian’s friend Kit De Luca, while Logan Moore, Joey Boos, and Antony Winfrey return to the Beef & Boards stage as Philip Stuckey, Giulio, and the landlord, respectively.
With an original score by Grammy Award-winner Bryan Adams and his longtime collaborator Jim Vallance, alongside a book by the film’s legendary director Garry Marshall and screenwriter J.F. Lawton, this production marks the first time the hit Broadway musical has been staged at Beef & Boards.
