The international smash hit The Merchants of Bollywood returns to Australian stages after its triumphant world tour.
The glamour and glitter that is Bollywood returns to the Australian stage in 2010 following its worldwide success and rave reviews. The Merchants of Bollywood features a cast of 40 performers direct from Film City Mumbai -- the home of Bollywood Cinema.
The Merchants of Bollywood will feature all the glitz, glamour, song, dance and romance that we know as "Bollywood". Bangles and beads, swirling colours in costumes and sets, and high-energy music, will excite the senses in this lavish new production that is bigger, bolder, brighter and features all the smash hit songs from the biggest Bollywood blockbusters.
A fictional story, yet based on real life, The Merchants of Bollywood will reveal to the Western audience the workings of cinema and the part it plays in the heart and soul of Indian society in an extraordinary evening of music and dance at the heart of which lies a heartfelt story of a young girl, her grandfather and their love of dance.
The Merchants of Bollywood features choreography by the internationally famed Vaibhavi Merchant, regarded as one of Bollywood's top young choreographers, and the granddaughter of Hiralalji Merchant, one the founding fathers of classic Bollywood Cinema.
