Toronto, Ontario, Canada – The lavish international musical, Bombay Dreams makes its only Canadian stop at the Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts for EIGHT performances from August 16 – 20, 2006.
Bombay Dreams combines the glamour of the movies, heart-aching romance and epic spectacle. It tells the story of Akaash, a young, handsome actor who dreams of becoming a huge movie star and of 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? Will they find, like in all the best Bollywood movies, their happy ending?
Stunningly conceived and featuring a brilliant script by Meera Syal with lyrics by Don Black, Bombay Dreams is a unique fusion of talent from the worlds of stage, film, TV and contemporary music. Add to this, lush production design and spectacular choreography. Bombay Dreams is a theatrical event that is both breathtaking and totally 'unmissable.'
Bombay Dreams features music by A. R. Rahman, lyrics by Don Black, book by Meera Syal and Thomas Meehan. The show premiered in London's West End in 2002 and followed with a Broadway run in 2004.
The creative staff for Bombay Dreams includes director Baayork Lee, musical director Kevin Farrell, Canadian choreographer Lisa Stevens, and scenic designer Kenneth Foy.
