Glory Ride - The world premiere of a major new musical

Book, Music & Lyrics by Victoria Buchholz & Todd Buchholz and Directed by Kelly Devine

Charing Cross Theatre
22 April to 29 July, 2023

GLORY RIDE transports the audience to the golden hills of Tuscany during the darkest days of the Second World War, with a story combining heist, history, humour, and humanity and a soaring new score.

Gino Bartali, one of the most beloved of Italian athletes of all time, had a secret life. A Tour de France winner, in the 1940s he was considered the second most famous man in Italy - after Mussolini. His cycling achievements on the Alps and Pyrenees were legendary, but until recently, few knew that he risked his life by saving hundreds of people from fascism during World War II.
