Just Added: Broadway's Bombay Dreams brings spectacular Bollywood excitement to Centennial Hall
TUCSON – For the first time at Centennial Hall, a brand new Broadway show is coming to Tucson before anywhere else. Bombay Dreams has chosen Tucson to host the touring premiere of this exciting new musical spectacle. This amazing show will be preparing and setting up before hitting the road in our illustrious theatre creating an even more monumental event. This is a limited engagement slated to play 2 performances, that's it. Don't miss your chance to be one of the first to experience a truly unique night at the theatre.
With the self penned hits Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber has for over 30 years conquered the world with his popular and ground-breaking approach to musical entertainment. Now, as producer of Bombay Dreams, with music by phenomenal Indian composer A R Rahman, he rewrites the history books once more.
Set amid India's bustling film industry, where numerous big-budget musicals are made each year, this triumphant new musical tells the story of a handsome young man who dreams of finding stardom and romance in a rich and exotic new land.
A feast for the sense, Bombay Dreams combines the glamour of the movies, heart-aching romance and epic spectacle. Akaash, a young slum dweller, dreams of becoming a huge movie star, and his fateful encounter with beautiful Priya, the daughter of one of Bollywood's greatest film directors. Can he achieve his dream of stardom or will this come at a price? Will Akaash and Priya's love survive? And will they find, like in all the best Bollywood movies, their happy ending?
One of the most dazzling musicals Broadway has ever seen, Bombay Dreams is a thrilling spectacle that families and students will enjoy as much as adults. With its lush score, the score explores such powerful themes as the challenge of success, the importance of one's cultural heritage and familiar roots, and the nature of friendship and true love. Featuring the same explosive scenes that were scene on Broadway, including the famed WATER FOUNTAIN dance.
The entire week leading up to this extraordinary show will showcase the creative process behind how a major Broadway musical comes to fruition. Stay tuned for more updates regarding this fascinating development.
