[arr] Bombay Dreams of getting bigger
Cannes, May 18: Bombay Dreams, the musical, is to be made into a big-budget film. The venture will be a collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Really Useful Group in the UK, and Marquee Pictures, a Beverley Hills-based US film production company. Canada-based Deepa Mehta, much admired for her trilogy Earth, Fire and Water, will direct the film in 2011, once she has completed the movie adaptation she is currently working on of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. The musical ran successfully for two years before opening in 2004 in Broadway where it did less well. However, the triumph of Slumdog Millionaire, which took eight Oscars in 2009, appears to have convinced the Americans that now is the propitious moment to turn Bombay Dreams, the stage musical, into a movie. The story of an Indian slum boy, who wants to make it big in tinsel town, epitomises the Hollywood and the American dream. Mehta's husband, David Hamilton, a producer on many of her films, said in Cannes: A.R. Rahman, who wrote the music for the musical, is writing some new music for the film. The people behind the project are very serious about making the film. The screenplay will be written by Sabrina Dhawan, acclaimed writer of the much loved Monsoon Wedding, which was directed by Mehta who commented: Bombay Dreams has a rich and compelling story, appealing characters and a satisfying interplay of comedy, romance and the dramatic. It really is the ideal musical to adapt for film. Lloyd Webber, who can claim substantial credit for introducing Rahman to the western world, said: I am very proud to have presented Bombay Dreams in Britain where it was a ground-breaking show. It was deeply rewarding for me to see Rahman's work recognised in America when he won two Oscars and I am thrilled to be working with him again on this exciting project. Rahman returned the compliment: I have had a wonderful collaboration with Andrew. And now I am very happy to continue this collaboration. I have worked on more than 100 movies, and believe that this may be my most exciting project. In 1998 Lloyd Webber went to the Hammersmith Lyric to see Fourteen Songs, Two Weddings and a Funeral with Parminder Nagra in the lead, the Tamasha Theatre Company's brilliant musical adaptation of the Bollywood blockbuster Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Seeing the musical encouraged Lloyd Webber to take the gamble of making Bombay Dreams. Shekhar Kapur, the director currently serving on the Cannes jury, put him in touch with Rahman. When the musical first opened, British critics predicted it would not last more than a few weeks at most. Indians, living in the UK and visiting from the UK, made them eat humble pie. Steve Wilkinson, who has a background in theatre and whose company Azure has provided development funding for the film, said in Cannes: While every production has an inherently uncertain outcome in the marketplace, Bombay Dreams, with its amazing musical pedigree and an award-winning production team, has a chance of becoming one of the great musical films of the decade. It is worth recalling Lloyd Webber's tart reaction when a Hindutva type asked him why he had not called his musical Mumbai Dreams. Mumbai Dreams has no music, he shot back. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100519/jsp/frontpage/story_12464861.jsp

Marquee, established with an eye toward transferring stage musicals to film, is headed by former Universal executive Jeff Segal, former ICM agent and producer Steve Waterman, Arclight Films president Gary Hamilton and Azure Media Group chairman Steve Wilkinson. Jack Crosby, former chairman of the Sundance Film Institute, serves as Marquee chairman. The Bombay film adaptation will be produced in association with Webber's Really Useful Group and also is expected to take on an Indian production partner. Principal photography of the Bombay-set romantic tale is set for 2011 in Mumbai.

[arr] Bombay Dreams hits the roads
Bombay Dreams hits the roads Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical begins a tour all over US JOHN FLEMING Posted online: Sunday, April 30, 2006 at hours IST Bombay Dreams was a moderate hit in London in 2002, but it flopped on Broadway in 2004, partly because American theatregoers were not familiar with the musical’s exotic subject matter: the Indian film industry known as Bollywood. When the show was being prepared to tour in February 2006, director Baayork Lee decided they needed to educate the audience. “We are up against Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast,” Lee said. So the basic boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl book of the musical was reconfigured for the road as the story of a movie being made in the teeming metropolis of Mumbai. Clips from Bollywood musicals play on video screens in the theatre. Kitty, a minor character in the London and New York productions, has been expanded into a big role as host of Access Bollywood and interpreter of what’s going on. “It was important to explain what Bollywood is about,” said Lee. A R Rahman was unknown to Western audiences until Andrew Lloyd Webber brought him into Bombay Dreams. The show’s score has lyrics by Don Black and is a great sampling of the pop music of South Asia — an infectious mix of hip-hop, reggae and electronica that has become trendy in the West. Chaiyya Chaiyya, a song in the musical, is featured on the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s new movie Inside Man. Elaine Davidson, music director on the tour, says the melody is “exotic yet accessible.” Bombay Dreams has a nine-piece orchestra, which includes keyboards, a woodwinds player, bass, cello and a drummer in the pit. There are two onstage percussionists in Indian garb, Dave Sharma and Deep Singh. Among the producers of the Bombay Dreams tour, which started in February, 2006, in Southern California, is the Independent Presenters Network. “In doing Bombay Dreams, we want to bring new product to our audiences,” said Robert Freedman, chief executive of Ruth Eckerd Hall. Ruth Eckerd Hall, in Clearwater, is the only Florida venue where Bombay Dreams will appear. People of Indian descent make up less than 1 % of the population of the Tampa Bay area, says Lex Poppens, director of marketing and communications at the hall. The show is featured on the cover of the April issue of CityMasala. Lata Kumar, who promotes Indian concerts in Tampa feels, “Most Indians will be going for it. For us, Rahman is a superstar.” —NY Times http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=125430 Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

[arr] Bombay Dreams
finally watched bombay dreams here in orange county( http://www.ocpac.org/onstage/ Event.asp?EventID=572 ). It was two hours of pure Rahman magic. The show was very good - better than what I had expected it to be. The cast were all new and most of them did a good job singing but the dialogs for the most part were pathetic. My favorite ooh lala song was replaced by a version of mujhe rang de. there was also a bhangra song which is not in the CD. It looked like the show was sold out and going by the audience reactions, shakalaka and chaiya chaiya were the big winners. Before the show started, they played videos of these songs - chaiya chaiya, main albeli, chale chalo mitwa (nayak), dandiya song from dil hi dil mein, ni main samajh gayi (taal) and shakalaka. -Manoj Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

[arr] 'Bombay Dreams' packs in glamour, glitter
'Bombay Dreams' packs in glamour, glitter Sunday, March 05, 2006 By HOWARD MILLER Times Arts Writer [EMAIL PROTECTED] With a setting of India's thriving film industry, the musical Bombay Dreams almost has to be a visual spectacle filled with things considered exotic in the West. Throw into the mix the production talents of Andrew Lloyd Webber of Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats and Phantom of the Opera fame and you have a formula destined to bombard the senses. A cultural legitimacy is achieved with the addition of music by Indian composer A R Rahman. The glamour, the glitter, the lavish sets, colorful costumes and exotic dance numbers of Bombay Dreams will come to the Von Braun Civic Center Concert Hall next weekend, thanks to the Colonial Properties Trust Broadway Series presented by the Broadway Theatre League. This show is about Bollywood, as the Indian film industry is called, but the plot of a handsome young actor and his dreams of fame and romance, could have come straight from the glory years of Hollywood. The production draws from the worlds of stage, film, TV and contemporary music to create a feel-good entertainment. -- Regards,...Sajna.

[arr] Bombay Dreams to Play Toronto in 2006
Most of the songs in the list sound new to me :(( http://www.playbill.com/news/article/96501.html Bombay Dreams to Play Toronto in 2006 By Andrew Gans29 Nov 2005 Bombay Dreams, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-produced musical that first played London and later Broadway, will play a limited engagement in Toronto in 2006. A recent casting notice reveals that the Bollywood-themed musical will play Toronto's Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts in summer 2006. Produced by Nick Manos and Atlanta's Theater of the Stars, the engagement is just one stop on the forthcoming North American tour. No other details have been announced. The musical featuring a score by A R Rahman and Don Black and a book by Meera Syal and Thomas Meehan was based on an idea by Shekhar Kapur and Lloyd Webber, who co-produced the London mounting. The New York production at the Broadway Theatre played 31 previews and 284 regular performances before closing Jan. 1, 2005. Bombay Dreams tells the story of Akaash, a brash young slum dweller who dreams of becoming a Bollywood movie star and meeting his idol, the voluptuous screen siren Rani. And wouldn't you know it, his dreams come truebut not without some personal costs and a good dousing in an on-stage dancing fountain. The production mirrors many a Bollywood musical in its lavish and plentiful production numbers, which find a good portion of the grinning Bombay population joyously dancing in unison to a propulsive beat. The show's centerpiece is perhaps the disco-ish "Shakalaka Baby," in which Rani and Akaash dance in and around a growing fountain. The musical was directed by Steven Pimlott and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast and Farah Khan. The show, which brought East Indian-flavored music and dance to the West End and later to Broadway, had its world premiere at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre on June 19, 2002. Song titles include "Salaa'm Bombay," "Bollywood," "Love's Never Easy," "Lovely, Lovely Ladies," "Bhangra," "Shakalaka Baby," "I Could Live Here," "Is This Love?," "Famous," "Chaiyya Chaiyya," "How Many Stars?," "Hero," "Ganesh Procession," "The Journey Home" and "Wedding Qawali." regards, ranjith Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
