A thrilling new musical is set to light up the West End. Roam will make its debut at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre in a special one-night-only concert performance. Directed by Rupert Hands (Evita, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) with choreography by Olivier Award winner James Cousins (Guys and Dolls), this ambitious production promises a night of emotion, power and musical innovation.
Featuring a genre-blending rock-pop-Romani score by Alexander Sage Oyen and a book by Michael Dovid, Roam tells the story of a nomadic family forced to confront the ghosts of their past when their caravan breaks down in hostile territory. Themes of love, family and legacy intertwine as the family wrestles with grief, identity and belonging.
The cast features some of musical theatre’s brightest stars, including Ramin Karimloo (Les Misérables), Frances Mayli McCann (Bonnie & Clyde), Diego Rodriguez (Evita, Sunset Blvd), Jordan Luke Gage (&Juliet, Bonnie & Clyde), Melanie La Barrie (Hadestown, &Juliet), Hope Lavelle (The Phantom of the Opera) and Olivier Award winner David Thaxton.
Director Rupert Hands said,
“We’re so excited to be premiering this brand-new musical in the West End with this extraordinary cast and team. Roam is the journey of a lifetime, full of soaring songs… It’s a story of love, family, and legacy in a totally original, funny, timely, and powerful script by Michael Dovid. We can’t wait to share it with London audiences.”
Developed with Romani theatre company Giuvlipen and the National University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest, Roam combines cultural authenticity with powerful theatrical storytelling.
