It is a pity if people do not know Only You of VM. They might have missed Roja janeman but I felt that people have definitely enjoyed Bharat Humko. How about add Tu hi re? I do not know about the NYC stage size but at DC some part of the orchestra had to hide behind those mechanical slides/stairs. Positives- ARR all the way, fully energetic and all new wardrobe. Negatives- Quality of the sound system and can be bigger orchestra.
