From Sunday, October 5, 2025, the late 80s-set tale of Vivian met Edward will roll into the QPAC Lyric Theatre in the Queensland capital, following a romance that's already fuelled a box-office smash as a movie, then premiered on Broadway in 2018 as a theatre production. If you've seen the film, you'll know the story, as an escort and a corporate raider fall in love — and you'll also know that it made Roberts a star, complete with a Golden Globe win, plus her first Best Actress Oscar nomination.
Alongside America's most-famous theatre district, where it broke records at the Nederlander Theatre, Pretty Woman: The Musical has graced the stage in London's West End, plus Spain, Italy, Poland and Germany.
There's no word yet regarding the local cast, so who'll be following in Roberts and Gere's footsteps — and Laura San Giacomo (NCIS) and Hector Elizondo's (Mr Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie) as well — hasn't been announced. Whether Pretty Woman: The Musical will head to other Australian stops also hasn't yet been revealed.
Behind the curtain, Adams worked with his songwriting partner Jim Vallance, who he wrote 'Summer of '69', 'Run to You', 'Cuts Like a Knife' and 'Heaven' with, on the music and lyrics. Late filmmaker Garry Marshall (Mother's Day), who directed the Pretty Woman movie — plus Roberts and Gere's on-screen reunion in 1999 in Runaway Bride — penned the book with the OG flick's screenwriter JF Lawnton (Yellow River Christmas).

we have narrowly lost the seat of South Brisbane
or the result that our volunteers worked so hard for
it is now clear that Labor will win the seat from second place
on preferences from the LNP and One Nation
Labor were ahead of the LNP by just 104 votes
meaning that those LNP preferences will come into play
the Greens have fallen well short of what we set out to achieve
the divide between ordinary people and the very rich grows
as big corporations and billionaires gather more and more power over our lives and communities
we need to listen and understand why our politics didn&#8217;t resonate with our neighbours how we thought it would
I&#8217;m not going to say that I&#8217;m not feeling disappointed in the results &#8211; but the reason I joined the Greens and the reason we all give so much
is because we want to improve people&#8217;s lives
I&#8217;m taking heart in the fact that our movement has changed political common sense in Queensland
People all over our city and state voted for a more progressive politics
In dissecting this incredibly close election result
we&#8217;ll be looking hard at the campaign
and what we could have done to better connect with people
We were buoyed by the fact that Labor adopted so many of our policies in the last few months — cheaper public transport fares
all policies lifted straight from the Greens
We were also buoyed by the positive feedback that we were hearing from people on the ground
voted for Labor thanks to their more progressive platform
Queenslanders will expect that Labor sticks with those progressive policies
We also know that many people voted for Labor in the hopes of keeping out the LNP
and out of fear that the LNP would roll back abortion rights
I know there were some people who decided not to vote Green in South Brisbane because they were unhappy that there are still so many people sleeping in tents across the neighbourhood
our push for the State government to build more public and emergency housing
In an election that saw a huge swing to the right
in part because we ran our biggest and most organised campaigns here in Brisbane
in part because more and more people are feeling connected to the Greens
My biggest and most heartfelt thank you is to the people of South Brisbane
Four years ago I was given an incredible opportunity to represent my community and I feel so lucky that I got to do this
It has been the biggest privilege of my life to connect with so many people
and to share your passion for this special part of the world
Thank you to everyone who I got to cross paths with
It has been a real privilege to work with the incredible people in this neighbourhood and stand shoulder to shoulder with you
The support I got after the car crash from so many of you in this community was a core part in my recovery
I&#8217;m so proud of everything we&#8217;ve worked for in the last four years
The campaigns that we&#8217;ve been able to mobilise — for renters
for Raymond Park and East Brisbane State School
for public transport and for school funding — have only been possible because this community has been so vocal
and so ready to stand up for what is right
Some of the things I feel particularly proud that our community have done locally are:
None of this would have been possible without your support: the countless hours of volunteer work
feedback and consultation offered to myself and team
as the only party in Queensland Parliament that doesn&#8217;t take corporate donations
the Greens have been fighting for a progressive policy agenda in the interest of all Queenslanders
We pushed for increased royalties on mining companies to pay for the services and infrastructure Queenslanders need
we saw an increase in royalties paid on coal sold at a super profit level — making multinational mining companies pay more is now political common sense
We introduced legislation to make state schools fully funded and genuinely free
instigating an inquiry into state school funding
and other community members and stakeholders give evidence in support of fully funding schools &#8211; but both Labor and the LNP voted against fully funding schools
We introduced legislation and ran campaigns to improve renters&#8217; rights and minimum standards
with some of our demands later adopted by the State government
Essential freedoms and rights that the Greens had been pushing for for years passed into law
reforms to allow birth certificates to reflect gender identity
we know the LNP is ready to wind back what little progress we have made in Queensland
will be rolling out the red carpet for the coal and gas companies
Labor approved 38 new coal mines since 2015
and both Labor and LNP support opening up 37 more
Pollution from burning Queensland coal and gas keeps going up
We have an enormous fight ahead of us to preserve a safe future for all of us
On the weekend I joined the Rally for Native Forests on Sunday in Orleigh Park
and I know that the push for climate justice will continue
and their mates in the major political parties seek to profit at the expense of all people
The fight for a fair housing system continues
We have fought hard for a rent freeze and cap
and for changes to tax incentives that put home ownership out of reach for many
We negotiated with real estate agents for people facing unfair rent increases
and we advocated for individuals to get into social housing
This fight for secure homes for renters and first-home owners continues in earnest
the LNP have zero interest in standing up for renters
The Greens will continue to push for an end to tax handouts for investors
and a mass build of quality public housing
I feel so proud of the solidarity that the Greens have shown with the Palestinian people
the LNP has zero interest in calling out the genocide
stopping Queensland public funds going to weapons companies here in Queensland
or stopping the export of weapons and parts from Queensland
and we will keep the pressure up on the state and Federal governments to stop funding weapons companies
to sanction the Israeli government and military
I feel more determined than ever to push for an end to the genocide and a free Palestine
First Nations justice sits at the heart of our movement
The LNP&#8217;s moves to scrap the Truth Telling Inquiry
is a shocking denial of the real history of Queensland
This sits alongside Labor and the LNP&#8217;s bipartisan support for appalling new laws that will lock up more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
The fight for Raymond Park and East Brisbane State School must also continue
We have no idea what the new LNP government have planned for the Gabba
but this I do know: the Greens have been proud to stand alongside the community to help fight for a state school
and stand up against this terrible waste of public money
The fact we&#8217;re facing these threats because of the Olympics underlines how wasteful and damaging Olympic Games are
The Greens will continue to stand alongside the community
Cheaper public transport fares are one example &#8211; in the 2017 election
we campaigned for $1 public transport fares
the government implemented cheaper public transport fares that are now benefitting tens of thousands of people
Labor at the time had frozen royalty levels
Labor finally raised royalties on coal sold at a super profit level
and while these changes did not go far enough and haven&#8217;t earned much additional revenue since coal prices fell
higher royalties are now common sense and enshrined in law
we pushed a policy for free school meals funded by higher royalties
One Labor Minister called this a &#8220;thought bubble&#8221; while others claimed there was no evidence that school kids would benefit from free meals
and we&#8217;ll continue to push hard for school kids to get free school meals
as well as pushing for state schools to be fully funded and free
I have loved working alongside Michael Berkman as we have pushed Queensland Parliament to work in favour of everyday people
but I&#8217;ve been lucky to have Michael as an incredible mentor
I know Michael and his team will be carrying on these fights in Parliament and in the community
I want to say a huge thank you to the hundreds of Greens volunteers who came out in force for our campaign here in South Brisbane
Thank you for the thousands of doors knocked
The fact that we scored the highest primary vote is down to you
but I know that all of you are now even more skilled and empathetic campaigners
who will be able to take these skills to other campaigns
bear responsibility for the election results
and Max Chandler-Mather will be working hard to hear from locals
to make sure that the Greens continue to listen to the community
and work out how the Greens are going to best advocate for this community in the face of an LNP government
Please make sure you connect with Max &amp; Trina if you haven&#8217;t already
I called Dr O&#8217;Shea to congratulate her
I know that this community will be welcoming
and ready to work alongside all our local representatives
to make sure this community gets what it deserves
We still don&#8217;t know what the future is for East Brisbane State School and the Gabba
We are months away from a Federal election
and I&#8217;ll be our doorknocking for Max Chandler-Mather
I&#8217;ll be staying in the neighbourhood
and I hope to see many of you in the campaigns that lie ahead

ShareThe Fox Hotel will reopen later this year – this time under the stewardship of one of Brisbane’s highest-profile hospitality groups.
Ghanem Group – best known for restaurants such as Byblos, Donna Chang, Blackbird and many others – announced it would revive the South Brisbane pub, which has remained closed since it was inundated by the 2022 floods.
Nehme and Adonis Ghanem outside The Fox Hotel.Courtesy of Ghanem GroupGhanem will open the venue on its Fish Lane side and has commissioned Southport-based Space Cubed Studio to lead the refurbishment of its ground-floor public bar and bistro, and rooftop terrace with its unique views of the CBD and the surrounding arts precinct. 
The project will also feature a late-night cocktail lounge, two function spaces, and a gaming lounge with adjoining bottle shop.
“We feel very strongly about reviving this crucial component of Brisbane’s nightlife,” Ghanem Group director Adonis Ghanem told this masthead.

All of our restaurants are located at very unique sites
But it also provides the opportunity to develop a multi-level precinct with a range of dining
Fish Lane has become one of the city’s key food and drink precincts in the past decade
with highly regarded restaurants such as Southside
Hello Please and La Lune all having a presence on the once obscure byway
between Melbourne Street and Fish Lane on the corner of Hope Street
has been a ghostly blank space for the area since its closure
“Bringing a new lease of life to such a landmark site will … help unlock the full potential of the precinct,” Ghanem said
The Fox Hotel has sat empty for the past three years
after being inundated in the 2022 floods.Tony MooreThe Fox first opened as Hotel Terminus in 1927 and was notable for being one of the few hotels built during the interwar period
It underwent an extensive refurbishment in 1988 and later became a topless bar named The Sly Fox
before being refurbed again in 2006 and becoming The Fox (which is perhaps best remembered for launching $2 steak Sundays in 2009)
“We’re actually really excited,” Ghanem said about the reopening
which is penned in for the fourth quarter of 2025
“The responsibility we have to restore this architectural legacy and to create an incredible venue is the type of project we thrive on.”

Council is committed to ensuring our fleet of CityCats
ferries and terminals are accessible for everyone
To ensure your ferry journey is as safe and comfortable as possible
Council launched CityCats on the Brisbane River in 1996
The vessels quickly became a popular and iconic mode of river transport
Council has successfully delivered the NextGen CityCat fleet
We're now planning to retire some of the older First Generation vessels that are no longer required
our suplus CityCat vessels will be available for sale to accredited operators
We've carefully maintained the vessels and want to explore whether they have a future life in service elsewhere
A maritime broker appointed to represent Council will manage this process
Further details about the chosen broker will be available later this year
Accedited commerical vessel operators can register to receive updates on this process.&amp;nbsp;
To register, <a title=\&quot;Council email address\&quot; href=\&quot;mailto:ptoffice@brisbane.qld.gov.au\&quot;>email</a> your details including company name

Metro South Health has been notified about a measles infection in Brisbane
A development application has been lodged for a Residential Building
Designed by <a href="https://koichitakada.com/">Koichi Takada Architects</a>
the proposal is for three hundred and twenty one (321) medium-high density units
Office and Shop within a residential building
with a maximum building height of 30 storeys
The proposal seeks a design that is sympathetic to the adjoining Local Heritage Place
The existing multiple dwellings and structures on the site will be altered to facilitate the proposed development
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/residential-building-merivale-glenelg-streets-south-brisbane/88-merivale-street-south-brisbane-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-85540"></a> <a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/residential-building-merivale-glenelg-streets-south-brisbane/88-merivale-street-south-brisbane-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-85541"></a>
The proposal provides 476 car parking spaces and 402 bicycle parking within the basement levels
Vehicle and pedestrian access is proposed to Merivale Street via a shared driveway and pedestrian entrance lobby
The planners at <a href="https://urbis.com.au/about-urbis/">Urbis</a> state
“The proposed development aligns with each of the mandatory requirements under the TLPI
as well as many of the non-mandatory requirements
with a green plot ratio of 200% (resulting in one of the world’s greenest residential buildings)
generous 1,452m2 area of public open space and park
housing diversity through variation and quantity of unit types
significant communal recreation area for residents
green mobility outcomes and a highly subtropical character which complies with the Buildings That Breathe benchmarks&#8221;

it is highlighted that previous assessment by Council under the original approval
which ultimately led to Council’s support for the proposal and issuing of a development approval
demonstrates the merit in the design and alternative outcomes sought for site cover and setbacks
These elements continue to achieve the same level of merit and contextual design excellence
regardless of the proposal’s ultimate height&#8221;

&#8220;The proposal provides for a one-of-a-kind vertical forest which will be among the greenest residential buildings in the world
The development design incorporates a green plot ratio equating to 200% of the site area
which includes 827 trees and will set a new benchmark for sustainable and subtropical built form
not only in Brisbane but in a global context
The ground plane’s podium will house a new public open space adorned by lush subtropical planting
and will be activated through retail tenancies and an information centre for visitors.’’

you might have shared them with the Queensland Government back in 2022
That was when news of the precinct&#8217;s redevelopment emerged
accompanied by a draft proposal for reimagining the 42-hectare inner-city gem
with more than 25,000 pieces of feedback shaping the final plan
Key features of the proposal include treetop walks
and a longer promenade extending to Kangaroo Point
These improvements reflect the community&#8217;s vision of a more connected

The Master Plan emphasizes several transformative projects:
Key areas targeted for redevelopment include South Bank&#8217;s northern and southern gateways (e.g.
the Maritime Museum and BRISBANE sign) and Grey Street
The aim is to transform Grey Street into &#8220;one of the world&#8217;s most-recognisable subtropical people-centric streets.&#8221;
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/?attachment_id=85567" rel="attachment wp-att-85567"></a>
the plan reflects the invaluable contributions of the public:
&#8220;With 89 percent of respondents expressing support for the plan&#8217;s vision
we are prioritizing increased greening of the precinct
and travel connectivity improvements.&#8221;
Queensland Minister for State Development and Infrastructure
emphasized the precinct’s role in Brisbane’s future:
&#8220;South Bank is a lasting legacy of Expo 88 and its Master Plan envisions how South Bank can help create our next big legacy
including from the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.&#8221;

While the exact timeline for these developments remains flexible
significant upgrades are expected in alignment with Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games
These enhancements will complement other city transformations
such as QPAC’s fifth theatre and the Neville Bonner and Kangaroo Point green bridges
the latter featuring an overwater bar and restaurant

the Future South Bank Master Plan represents a bold step forward in creating an inclusive
