Italian chic, European glamour and the timeless music and songs of the legendary Cole Porter combine in a glittering new stage musical based on the bittersweet movie comedy.

Featuring the music of Cole Porter, Roman Holiday follows a youthful princess and an American journalist on a frenetic 24-hour adventure through the delights of the Italian capital. Ann, a young princess visiting Rome on a goodwill tour, escapes from the watchful eye of her chaperones. She meets Joe who offers to show her around the city, but Joe’s editor has demanded a story regarding a missing princess.

Through the course of one charming day and eventful night in Rome, Ann and Joe grow closer, but will true romance blossom before Ann has to return to her royal duties…?

Directed by Jeremy Sams, Roman Holiday is adapted for the stage by Kirsten Guenther and Paul Blake, with choreography by Matt Cole and Jane McMurtie, set and costume design by Francis O’Connor, lighting by Mark Henderson, sound by Tom Marshall, and casting by Ginny Schiller CDG.
