Saregama's Disco Dancer - The Musical aims to be a grand celebration of the golden musical era of the 1980s. It will premiere on April 14, 2023 in Mumbai. On World Theatre Day, music composers Salim and Suleiman Merchant, who have given music to the show, discussed the play which they believe will redefine contemporary Indian theatre after regaling audiences in London's West End Theatre, in back-to-back sold-out shows.
The Saregama Live production will now take the Indian audiences of all generations back to the era of unforgettable music, clap-worthy dialogues, and foot-taping choreography of the ’80s.
Salim said, “On World Theatre Day, it is an honour to talk about an immersive live experience like Disco Dancer - The Musical. To begin with, it was an absolute privilege to reimagine songs like, 'Goron Ki Na Kalon Ki..', 'Yaad Aa Raha Hai', 'Jimmy Jimmy' and the title song. And incredible to see the musical's smashing success in London. Now of course, we are looking forward to celebrating the legacy of Mithun da, Bappi da, and B Subhash on an unprecedented, never-seen-before scale, in India. Saregama Live and our director and writer have done a wonderful job of doing justice to a film that even in the 80s was a 100-crore hit. If we had not been able to share this experience with audiences back home, something would have felt incomplete.”
Suleiman said that the show will transport everyone to the 80's era and added, “The score of Disco Dancer is timeless and perfect and we just reimagined the music to fit it in the format of a live musical without tampering with its nostalgia factor. We have composed two original songs as well. We can assure you that the musical will be an experience of a lifetime.”
Salim agreed and said, “There will be live singing, dancing, stunning choreography, and everything that you remember fondly about the film including Mithun da's iconic moves! It will truly be an experience you won't forget in a hurry. All of us including Suniel Shetty will be there to see the magic unfold and we would have loved to have Bappi da grace the premiere too. Even though he is gone, his music will live on amid us forever.”
Disco Dancer – The Musical has been brought to India by Saregama and Suniel Shetty and presented by Royal Challenge packaged drinking water and co-powered by Pepsi Black Zero Sugar. It will premiere on April 14, 2023, at the NSCI dome in Mumbai. Tickets are available on BookMyShow.
