The Lunchbox is a world premiere musical adaptation of Ritesh Batra's acclaimed film, directed by Tony Award-winner Rachel Chavkin. Set in Mumbai, it tells the story of a mistaken lunch delivery that connects a lonely housewife with a jaded office worker, leading to an exchange of handwritten notes that fosters an unexpected bond. With a score by Daniel and Patrick Lazour, the production explores themes of human connection and the significance of small gestures amidst the bustling backdrop of city life. The show will run from May 17 to June 28, 2026.
