About the show:
She longs to see every room in the world…

He longs to stay in his…

Set in Glasgow in the 1970s, ROOMS follows Monica, an ambitious singer-songwriter who crosses paths with Ian, a reclusive rocker. Despite their differences, together, their music transcends their boundaries. Follow as their music takes them from London’s rock scene to New York’s gritty music halls, but as their careers rise, ambition and addiction threaten to tear them apart. ROOMS is a thrilling, raw, and dynamic new musical about love, the cost of dreams, and finding harmony in a chaotic world.
