See Review from The San Francisco Chronicle:
Producing Broadway shows is not for the faint of heart. But it takes a special sense of adventure to adapt a film like “Roman Holiday” into a major musical. Paul Blake and Mike Bosner, the producing team behind “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” have done exactly that. Their “Roman Holiday — the Musical” opens its pre-Broadway run at the Golden Gate Theatre on May 23 and is expected to transfer to New York this fall.
