Chicago's Auditorium Theatre Presents 'The Merchants of Bollywood', 10/1-2
After its triumph in Asia and Europe, including 16 sold-out performances in London, the international smash hit, "The Merchants of Bollywood" is set to mesmerize North America with its premiere performances at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University (50 E Congress Pkwy) this October, for two performances only Friday, Oct. 1 and Saturday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m.
Written and directed by Toby Gough, "The Merchants of Bollywood" is loosely based on the real-life story of the Merchant family dynasty, whose members have been prominent choreographers and filmmakers since the beginning of the Hindi film industry in the 1920s. An international musical dance spectacular, "The Merchants of Bollywood" will reveal to North American audiences how cinema resides in the heart and soul of Indian society in an extraordinary evening of music and dance at the heart of which lies a heartfelt story of a young girl, her grandfather and their love of dance. This original production was developed in Mumbai, India, with 50 performers, 500 lavish costumes and 3,000 pieces of glittering jewelry.
Ticket Price Range: $47 - $77, with special VIP Box Seating available for $87 - $100
