Frankie Goes to Bollywood at The Oxford Playhouse
Overview
Presented by Rifco Theatre Company and BEAM Hertford, Composed by Harry Anand
Get ready to be swept away into the dazzling world of Bollywood!
From the makers of Britain's Got Bhangra comes a new British musical that dives into the dazzling, high-pressure world of Indian cinema, where dreams are mass-produced and women are expected to play by the rules.
At the heart of the story is Frankie, a young British woman with little interest in fame - until a chance encounter sweeps her from suburbia into the Bollywood spotlight. As the cameras roll and expectations rise, Frankie must ask herself: Can she become a star without losing who she is?
With spectacular choreography, lavish costumes, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Frankie Goes to Bollywoodis a joyful, moving tale of ambition, identity, and finding your voice.
Featuring original songs by Bollywood hitmaker Harry Anand, this is Rifco Theatre Company’s most ambitious production yet – a feel-good celebration of love, courage, and self-discovery.
