New Cole Porter musical Roman Holiday is to have its UK premiere at the Theatre Royal Bath in 2023.

Adapted from the multi Academy Award winning movie comedy starring Audrey Hepburn, Roman Holiday will run at the venue from 10 June until 1 July 2023.

The production is directed by double Olivier Award winner and Tony Award nominee Jeremy Sams and is produced by Theatre Royal Bath Productions by arrangement with Paul Blake and BFI Productions.

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…?

Casting and full creatives will be announced in due course.
