Just in – go behind the scenes of rehearsals for the London concert production of Roam.
ROAM is a rock-pop-Romani fusion musical with music and lyrics by Alexander Sage Oyen and a book by Michael Dovid, based on his original concept. Additional book material is by Romana Isabella, and Cultural Consultation is by Hope Lavelle.
ROAM is directed by Rupert Hands (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Evita), with choreography by Olivier Award winner James Cousins (Guys and Dolls).
The wider creative team includes Musical Supervision and Orchestrations by Lloyd Kikoler; Musical Director Nick Barstow; Vocal Arrangements by Cynthia Meng; Arrangements by Oyen and Kikoler; Set & Costume Design by Soutra Gilmour; Lighting Design by Peter Small; and Sound Design by Sound Quiet Time.
In the show, when a nomadic clan’s caravan breaks down in hostile territory on the way to a sacred festival, they are forced to stop and confront the ghosts of their past. At the centre stands Yoska, a father tormented by loss and regret, whose unexpected return throws his sons Stefo and Pesha into a storm of loyalty, rivalry, and long-buried grief.
As tensions ignite, romances spark, and old wounds resurface, the family must decide: will they succumb to old fears and hate or pursue a future worth fighting for?
ROAM is produced by Bandits Roost Entertainment, Ramin Karimloo, Mercy Productions, Wojita Productions, and AnnJen Productions.
Currently playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London is Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical.
ROAM is playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre on Sunday 23 November 2025.
