For one-night only next year, the disco-era Bollywood musical Bombay Superstars will play London.

Playing His Majesty's Theatre September 15, 2024, the staged concert will feature songs first introduced by midcentury Bollywood icons like Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. Blending reality and reel stories, the musical explores the star crossed romance between a rising screen star and her married co-star, scandalizing their impassioned fans.

Bombay Superstars is written and directed by Sâmir Bhamra (Bring on the Bollywood; Precious Bazaar). Said Bhamra in a statement, "I had an aspiration to create a musical that resonated with people like my Bollywood-loving mom, my aunts or my grandma. Bombay Superstars weaves fun, entertaining, and meaningful stories of Indian actresses of the 1970s who played a pivotal role in shaping the world for South Asian women of all ages globally. Only by looking into the struggles of the past, can we take a moment to take stock of today, and then commence the fight for a more equal tomorrow. Come and enjoy Bombay Superstar because it is a jubilant celebration of the Disco, the Divas and the Drama that created Bollywood icons!"

Bombay Superstar will be delivered in English and sung in Hindi with subtitles. The music is used with permission of Saregama India Ltd, formerly known as The Gramophone Company of India Ltd., India’s oldest music label. Composers of the original Hindi film songs in Bombay Superstars include Bappi Lahiri, Laxmikant Pyarelal, RD Burman, Shiv Hari, Khayyam, Kalyanji Anandji, and OP Nayyar.
