About the Show

This production fuses western and eastern culture with classical Indian dance steps, sensual moves, traditional costumes, and pulsating modern music played on classical Indian instruments. The high-energy music, array of color, and sensational dance scenes will captivate the audience and allow them to feel like they are in an actual Bollywood show. Through a mix of action, comedy, melodrama, and music, this high-paced show will be an excitement from start to finish while giving the audience a glimpse of India.

The storyline follows Varsha, a young, hard-working journalist from an Indian family living in Europe.
