The first musical from the home of the multi million dollar Bollywood film industry heads to the UK.
Harvey Goldsmith, the man behind Live Aid and Live8, has announced the launch of a new project that will see the world's leading music and event promoter stepping into the Bollywood arena.
The Merchants of Bollywood, the first authentic musical from Bollywood city is a theatrical dance spectacular which charts the enchanting history of the world's largest and most prolific film industry, and a dynasty of stars that have lit its way over generations.
The show features a cast of 40 dancers, singers and actors direct from Film City Mumbai performing to hits that every Bollywood fan will relate to, including classics such as Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna' from DDLJ to the very latest hits from Box office smashes such as Dhoom and Dus.
The musical is based on the real life story of the show's choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant.
Hot off its success in Australia, the show will be touring the UK this Winter, premiering in Birmingham as the first stop of the UK tour.
Harvey Goldsmith said, "I was taken to see the show by a friend in Australia, and fell in love with it on the spot. I was just enveloped by the fantastic atmosphere in the audience. The team have created a truly amazing spectacle of colour and culture, for which I can take no credit at all. I am just giving UK audiences the opportunity to be a part of an invigorating and extraordinary experience."
Tickets for each of the shows are on sale now.
