The London cast of "Pretty Woman" Piccadilly Theatre - February 2020

For this scene the director's original request called for a Country song (Vivian grew up in rural Georgia).

In fact, we wrote two different Country songs for this spot, approximately a year part, one titled "Why Me" and the other titled, "It Never Works Out That Way".

I liked both songs, but the director had us write yet a third song. As someone once said, "Broadway" isn't writing, it' re-writing.

"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 beyond.

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 "This Is Your Life", recorded 2021-2022 at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver Canada.
