Wow, dat is fijn nieuws op de vrijdag!  Een nieuwe rockmusical in LONDEN met fijne muziek en een aansprekende cast. Wat te denken van Adam Pearce -vorige week nog in Carre te bewonderen als Max von Mayerling in Sunset Boulevard - , Oliver Saville - recent nog Fiyero in Wicked - en wat te denken van Ruben van Keer - eerder dit jaar nog te zien in Antwerpen als Mozart.

Romance of the Rose Productions is delighted to announce first casting for the new West End musical Knights of the Rose.

Directed by Racky Plews and created by Jennifer Marsden, Knights of the Rose opens on 29th June for 9 weeks only at The Arts Theatre.

KNIGHTS OF THE ROSE is a classic rock musical of Shakespearean proportions. Featuring the ultimate playlist including legendary ballads and timeless anthems from Bon Jovi, Muse, Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, No Doubt and many more.

In this epic tale of love, betrayal and sacrifice, the noble Knights of the Rose must defend their House and their honour. Even as the chivalrous Knights return from a glorious victory, a greater threat against the kingdom stirs. As they face the greatest battle of the Age, and betrayal threatens to tear them apart, can true love and honour triumph?

Woven from a rich tapestry of literature and high-voltage classic rock, this heroic new story charges its way into the heart of London this Summer.
