Bombay Dreams to Play Toronto in 2006
By Andrew Gans
29 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.
My interest is in the future, because I am going to spend the rest of my
life there.
