Although i usually disagree with Ben Brantley, i agree with him when he said this show is "A Feel Good Fantasy"
the set is sooooo toned down from the broadway production
completely diffrent
lol it was such a spectacle on broadway haha
is this a equity or non eq tour?
It's equity. The pics actually look a lot like the Broadway production, but i will talk when i see the show in 20 days.
Question for anyone who has seen the national tour: does Priya sing "Love's never easy" along with Sweetie? she did on Broadway but not in London. Just wondering.
Steve where are you?
Hi Muscle,
No, "Love's never easy" is sung by Sweetie, Hijra and Ensemble.
The only song Sweetie and Priya sing together is "Hero".
I am concerned that actually seeing the tour of Bombay Dreams is going to be anti-climactic for you, but I hope that doesn't happen.

yeah I think so too. Don't expect miracle. But "Hero" was a good song.

You don't have to be Indian to enjoy "Bombay Dreams," a musical that opens Tuesday at the Fox Theatre.
Not even the members of St. Louis' Indian community think that you do.
"I really don't think you have to be an Indian to like this show," said restaurateur Harinder Singh, who happily displays posters for "Bombay Dreams" at all of his establishments - Curry in a Hurry and India's Rasoi.
G.V. Naidu, chairman of the Hindu Temple of St. Louis, said he bought opening-night tickets the first day they were available. "But I am sure that many people who are not Indian will enjoy 'Bombay Dreams' as well."
anyone seeing the show in St. Louis?
???
the fox theater is stunning and the sound is flawless. they should enjoy the St.L. run.
Garlandgrrl, i love that Liza quote, i felt that way towards Liza while growing up, she is just a gay magnet, there is something about her. I am still mad at the fact she never told Larry King that she never did Cabaret on Broadway during that interview.
thanks again Anabelle for these amazing pics!

I am finally seeing the show on Wednesday, I am blessed I have great friends that are as excited as I am to see this show. I found an amazing video clip promoting the show in Pittsburgh.

2 more days!
Alright, i was thinking i was going to be terribly dissappointed with the production of this tour. I feared for the reaction of my 14 friends travelling with me from Fort Lauderdale(5 hour drive) to see this.
The reviews of the touring show by the BWW users were mixed, so i was afraid. The show was splendid. It was not low budget at all. It was as amazing as the Broadway version or even better i'd say, with some songs added from the London production. TLKfan wasn't too happy with the girl that played Priya, and i thought she was amazing, very different from Tamyra Gray, but great! she wasn't the best dancer, but she just dances to one number in the entire show, so it wasn't a big deal.
After all the negativity on this board, i was starting to think i'd see this show and realize it wasn't so good. But guess what?!!! it was!!!
The Ruth Eckerd Hall was a 92% full, the entire audience gave the show a standing ovation. The energy was contagious. The dance numbers were as amazing as always, the costumes, the sets were ravishing(some better than the Broadway production, some others not as good) but overall an excellent show. My 14 friends loved the show, 2 claimed they "liked it" but they didn't love it, one of them hates musical theatre anyways...the rest of them loved it, including myself.
