More than 50 years after the making of the romantic comedy film, the story returns – this time to the stage – in a musical based on the iconic motion picture, featuring a full scoring of the songs of Cole Porter, including "Easy to Love," "Begin the Beguine," "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" and "Riding High." Princess Ann is on a widely publicized tour of several European capitals, including Rome. One night she rebels against the strenuous demands of her official duties and goes out alone to experience the city. She meets an American newspaperman who, seeking an exclusive story, pretends ignorance of her true identity. But his plan falters as they fall in love. For the hopeless romantic, Roman Holiday is not to be missed!
