Shilpa Shetty is launching her new musical Miss Bollywood which opens on 3rd November in Manchester (Opera House) with the tour continuing in Cardiff (St David’s Hall), Bradford (St George’s Hall), Aberdeen (His Majesty’s Theatre), Glasgow, (Clyde Auditorium), Birmingham (Alexandra Theatre), Cambridge (Corn Exchange) and London (Royal Albert Hall).
Renowned for her outstanding dancing abilities in the realm of Bollywood film, Shilpa Shetty is set to bring the stage alight with a musical extravaganza that has never before been brought to the stage.
Set against the backdrop of London, in preparing for the 2012 Olympics, the musical follows the story of ‘Maya’ performed by Shilpa Shetty, a young classically trained choreographer who finds herself thrust into the limelight where she must sink or swim.
Her tribulations include the unwanted attentions of a famous but predatory choreographer and a jealous diva.
Miss Bollywood is a concoction of riveting dance sequences showcasing a combination of eclectic dance forms taken from the east and west of India, absorbed and transformed into the phenomenon known as ‘Bollywood’ dance, with Shilpa Shetty re-capturing on stage some of the Bollywood film industry’s greatest hits over the past 40 years.
An Indian Heroine in London
As London prepares to host the 2012 Olympics, the city’s Mayor announces that run- down areas in the East will undergo renovation and renewal. All good and well unless you happen to be Maya, a dancer and choreographer, recently arrived from India, who has invested her savings setting up a Dance Academy in a building to be demolished.
