Hows this show been doing financially?

Yeah it isnt doing too great here but it's a smash in london. I guess it cant compete with shows like Wicked, Avenue Q, The Boy From Oz...Ive heard good things about it though from people who saw it

the London version was so good. I had a great time. I haven't seen the broadway version, but I know they changed a couple of things. The only thing that BOMBAY DREAMS was competing against in England was PHANTOM, MAMMA MIA, and the Rod Steward musical.

I've heard horrible things about it. They said it was cheesy and stupid and just an overall bad production.

A few of my friends who saw it with me in England thought that too, but I had to tell them to think of it as a bollywood movie (which it mirrors). If you think of it like that, it is really enjoyable.

I hope you are saying this in jest.

Everyone who has seen the show has seemed to like it. And I wish people would take it for what it is. A typical Bollywood flick that is all fun and games.

I greatly enjoyed it in London. I haven't seen in on Broadway. Truthfully, I don't want to.

Zoran, do you know that the creators like the Broadway version better? DO you not want to trust them just enough to give it a chance?

Outnumbered by ....????

I liked "Bombay Dreams". Is it the best show on broadway, like you incredulously wrote? .. NO... but it was fun.

BD was fun. The music was energetic. The performers were charismatic, and I had a great time with both incarnations (london/N.Y.). Is it the best musical? No, but it's one I would pay full price for to see it a second time (which I'm doing on Thursday). Updated On: 8/24/04 at 09:01 PM
