CloseTwinkle was an 80s British Bhangra icon but now he’s bankrupt with only his dreams of a number one hit to keep him going. Shindie is a star maker, only she steals other people’s talent to do it! Will DJ Lovely’s ripped off, remixed Bhangra track make him millions? Will Twinkle ever find his magic and shine again or will fate make him change his tune?
Rifco Arts’ new musical is guaranteed to lift you from the dhol drums!
Charting the rise of British Bhangra in the UK from the sequin clad 80s through to the R ‘n’ B fusion of the present day. A twinkling night of glitz, live music and song!
Featuring award-winning performer Shin, the lead singer and driving force behind legendary Birmingham bhangra band and double platinum disk winners DCS.
Shake your shoulders, tap your toes – Britain’s Got Bhangra!
“The energy flowing from the stage comes not just from the endless colour and the insistent beats of the Bhangra music but also from the talented cast” The British Theatre Guide
“A delicious extravaganza.” Asian Times (on The Deranged Marriage)
“Definitely worth making a date for.” **** The Evening Standard (on Where’s My Desi Soulmate)
“Sumeet Chopra’s score is a delight that brings the audience to its feet and introduces a new sound into the stale world of the British musical.” Guardian ****
On Wed 23 Nov there will be a post-show discussion

What's BHANGRA??
Janice at 12:29pm on Tue 30th Aug 2011
I'd like to bring my kids along, aged 8 and 5: they love a bit of Bhangra! Do you think the show is suitable for them? Are there long stretches of dialogue? How long does the show last?
Pete at 9:58am on Fri 9th Sep 2011
Hello,
Janice - Bhangra is a style of South Asian music and dance. If you want to take a look at what to expect in this show, see the trailer which can be found by clicking the 'trailer' tab at the top of the page.
Pete - we're awaiting running times and I'll update this page as soon as we have them. There is no age guidance on this show so it would be entirely up to you if you wanted to bring your children along. We did have quite a few children in the audience last time it was here and they enjoyed the music and dancing featured in the show. However, this isn't specifically a children's show and so does contain a narrative and stretches of dialogue. I'm afraid we can't advise any more than this - you will be the best judge of whether they would respond well to this type of performance.
Why not have a look at the trailer as this captures the essence of the show?
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Jan

Hi
I've pre-booked tickets for this on Sat, 24th of Nov. I think I'll be busy during that weekend with some other important work. Is it possible to cancel this ticket for a refund?
Cheers...
