The 13-city tour starts in Atlanta on Friday, May 26 with stops in New York, Chicago, Toronto, and more. This is also Indiau2019s longest-running Broadway-style extravaganza and has been directed by Feroz Abbas Khan and produced by Shapoorji Pallonji Group. It will be presented in North America by Cinema on Stage and will bring to a global audience, a timeless love story intertwined with the silken skeins of Indiau2019s syncretic culture and its rich dance, musical, cinematic, and theatrical traditions.
The director described his thoughts on the milestone by stating, u201cThere cannot be a better way to end the pandemic-induced lull than to take u2018Mughal-E-Azam: The Musicalu2019 to an international audience. We are well aware of how challenging it will be to keep the energy levels up as we travel from one city to another with a vast crew and learn to familiarise ourselves with a new venue every time, but we are looking forward to it.Source:- MSN
The last few years of not being able to perform have made us all hungry, and we will invest even more passion and diligence than ever in every performance and ensure that this tour is a massive success. A very big element of this project is the way Mayuri Upadhya has choreographed dance sequences to do justice to the majestic musical score, and we are sure that the audiences will love every moment of it,u201d Feroz added.
u201cSeven years back, when we green-lighted this project, we had not imagined that it would run for 19 seasons and travel to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Muscat, Doha, and now North America. A lot of technical and logistic expertise goes into a massive show like this, but what makes it universally loved is its emotional core and the love story of Salim and Anarkali, said Deepesh Salgia, Creative & Strategic Vision for the musical.
