Frankie Goes to Bollywood

Critically acclaimed and celebrated by The Stage as 'Witty and knowing', Frankie Goes to Bollywood promises an unforgettable theatrical experience. The show stars Laila Zaidi, known for her roles in ITV sitcom Benidorm and the American production of Bend It Like Beckham: The Musical. With artistic director Pravesh Kumar, who was recently honoured with an MBE for his services to British theater, at the helm, the show brings real stories of British women in the Bollywood film industry to life. This unique blend of British and Indian culture, coupled with spectacular sets, ornate costumes, and Niraj Chag’s music that was recently featured at the White House during Diwali celebrations, make this a must-see show in London.
