Bollywood Masala

Presented by Indigo Productions (LR 2022 - 009601).

BOLLYWOOD MASALA Following its triumph in Paris in 2025, Bollywood Masala makes its grand return in 2027.

This brand-new spicy musical straight from the movie city of Bombay promises a spectacular journey into the heart of Bollywood. Created by Toby Gough, the award-winning writer and director of The Merchants of Bollywood and Taj Express—both choreographed by the celebrated sisters Vaibhavi and Shruti Merchant—the show overflows with infectious dances, flamboyant costumes, epic romance, and comedy. It also celebrates the biggest hits from your favorite Bollywood films, from Devdas to Lagaan and Dhoom, plus the Oscar-winning "Naatu Naatu" from RRR. The dancers, selected from top Bollywood troupes, have shared the stage with Indian cinema legends such as Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Salman Khan. Bollywood Masala tells the story of a famous Indian chef, the Maharaja of Masala, Mr. Kari Balti, who pioneered on-set film catering during the boom of the cinema industry. A portmanteau of Bombay and Hollywood, "Bollywood" refers to the world's most prolific film industry, while "Masala" evokes both the spice blend behind a curry sauce and the very essence of Bollywood cinema: a savory mix of action, romance, comedy, and melodrama. "Masala music," too, fuses Indian and Western influences. Cinema and gastronomy rank among India's greatest gifts to the world; with Bollywood Masala, both worlds collide in a unique, colorful, festive show for the whole family.
