Directed by Olivier Award winner Jeremy Sams (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), and adapted by Kirsten Guenther and Paul Blake (White Christmas), the songs in the musical are unforgettable Cole Porter classics, including Easy To Love, You Do Something To Me, In The Still Of The Night, Just One Of Those Things and Night and Day.
The creative team also includes Choreography by Matt Cole and Jane McMurtie, Set and Costume design by Francis O’Connor, Lighting design by Mark Henderson, Sound design by Tom Marshall, and Casting by Ginny Schiller CDG.
Roman Holiday plays the Theatre Royal Bath from 10 June to 1 July 2023. There’s no current news of a West End transfer for the show – but we have everything crossed!
