Eric Anderson and Tommy Bracco. Brilliant talents, both of them.

Great choreography in this scene where Mr. Thompson, the hotel manager, dances with Giulio, the bell-boy.

Back-story:
"Pretty Woman: The Musical", opened in Chicago and New York in 2018, Hamburg Germany in 2019, London England in 2020 and Milan Italy in 2021.

A USA touring production hit the road in 2021, stopping in every major American city and continuing into 2022, and a UK cast toured Engand, Ireland and Scotland for most of 2024.

Bryan Adams and I spent three years writing the 21 songs that appear in the production ... a typical time-line for a Broadway show. A "cast album" was recorded in New York in 2018 with nine musicians and 19 singers.

The version above is Bryan's interpretation of "On A Night Like Tonight", recorded 2021-2022 at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver Canada.

Lyrics: On a night like tonight
Just remember you're right where you're meant to be
In a dazzling dress, I'm sure you'll impress
This I guarantee

He's certain to be enchanted by the magic of your smile     
Anything's possible
On a night like tonight

When you walk in the room heads will turn, I presume
You'll have style and grace
A tango for two, picture him holding you in a warm embrace

Dancing on air without a care to your heart's delight
You'll be unstoppable
On a night like tonight

Remember, be true to yourself, it’s easy to see
Hold your head high, this is who you're meant to be

When you walk in the room heads will turn, I presume
You'll have style and grace
A tango for two, picture him holding you in a warm embrace

Dancing on air without a care to your heart's delight
You'll be unstoppable
On a night like tonight, ah yeah

Remember, be true to yourself, it’s easy to see
Hold your head high, this is who you're meant to be

On a night like tonight
Just remember you're right where you're meant to be
In a dazzling dress, I'm sure you'll impress
This I guarantee

He's certain to be enchanted by the magic of your smile    
You'll be unstoppable
On a night like tonight

Anything's possible
On a night like tonight  
Tonight
