Thoroughly enjoyed this show. Great cast, and loved all the music Didn't want it to end.

Tony Thompson

An innovative and unusual show, performed with great enthusiasm. The idea of combining an ancient tale of knights and chivalry with modern and classical music worked very well. My only criticism is that sometimes the diction was not clear, patcicularly in the singing. Adam Pearce as the King (and Francis) was outstanding, particularly in his rendering of The Cold Song from the opera King Arthur.

Richard Scheiner

It was a great musical! At first the combination of Middle Age and 90's songs seemd strange, but it really worked well & created an excellent show!

jean strugnell

Outstanding acting and fantastic music

Hebe Richardson

Very expensive for the show that was put on. Great tunes, but the script is terrible and the show just doesn't flow. I feel for the cast as they are obviously more talented than this production. Having said that, we did have a great laugh!

David Pollard

Very entertaining with good arrangements of well known songs, a great band and some terrific voices. Unlikely plot and dialogue but very engaging and at times surprisingly moving.

Keith Shelley

Both myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the show, love the live music, our sort of thing.

Paul Spring

Terrible script and nonexistent story. The singing was good and so was the band, but you can’t reciver from cringeing every minute.

Gareth Bartlett

Well choreographed and written, slickly put together.

Deirdre Fletcher

Excellent! Super fun. Great actors and their voices blew us away!

Sue Sycamore

We loved Knights of the Rose, the talented performers delivered a great show.

Steve Lyall

Enjoyable. Same sort of idea as Bat out of Hell (story line woven around popular songs) although not as good - but what is! Good voices and decent acting. Think it would do OK if transferred to the West End. Theatre small and compact.

Knights of the Rose

Game of Thrones meets Bat Out of Hell in the new musical on the block; Knights of the Rose. If you’re a fan of the Arthurian period, knights in shining armour and all that jazz, and if you’re also a fan of classic rock and contemporary ballads, then this musical is just the perfect combination for you. This summer the stage at the Arts Theatre is being stormed by rowdy knights, some more honourable than others, and princesses and fair maidens alike.

Knights of the Rose preview

It’s always exciting when there’s a new musical on the block and Knights of the Rose should certainly peak your interest. It has all the epic woes of love, betrayal and bloodshed, not to mention being packed with knights and having a glorious playlist of classic rock ballads to accompany it all. If you’re looking for something new with the grandeur of an old, classic feel, then this new musical set to premiere this summer is a must.
