The Merchants Of Bollywood
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 5TH JUNE 2010
Nearby The Merchants Of Bollywood

A song-and-dance spectacular, The Merchants of Bollywood features everything you'd expect from the stars of Bombay's giant movie industry - fabulous costumes, outstanding choreography and acting that's so cheesy it's brilliant. There's a flimsy plot about a Bollywood ingenue, but really it's just a way to give the dancers time to make their dozens of costume changes between one extravagant dance routine and the next. The songs have all been borrowed from successful Bollywood movies, and they're intensely catchy, with choreography by Vaibhavi Merchant - one of Bollywood's top choreographers. This is an infectiously joyful show that ends with the audience on their feet and dancing.About Peacock Theatre
This theatre is a major force on the national and international dance scene, with an innovative programme from Sadler's Wells that is keeping London's finger on the pulse. The Peacock Theatre became the company's base from 1996 to 1998 when a new theatre was being built on its Islington site and, since that time, has been a shining star in the Sadler's Wells sphere.
