There, she meets Roger, a charming Brit with a heart of gold, and falls deeply in love. Now, Simran faces a dilemma: Can she honour her heritage while following her heart? And can Roger win over her traditional father?
The production will feature 18 all-new songs by Indian composers Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani. The creative team also includes book and lyrics by Nell Benjamin (Mean Girls), choreographer Rob Ashford (Frozen), Associate Choreography – Indian Dances by Shruti Merchant (Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl), Set Design by Derek McLane (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) and Casting by David Grindrod CDG for Grindrod Burton Casting.
