Dick Whittington Goes Bollywood
Tara Theatre
Reviewed on Wednesday 12th December 2012
"Hot on the heels of their enthusiastically received adaptation of Molière’s The Miser (Kanjoos) and building on the success of the sell-out smash hit of 2011’s panto Bollywood Cinderella, Tara Arts conjure up another seasonal treat with music, melodrama and multi-coloured magic, this time with Dick Whittington Goes Bollywood. All the fun of panto meets the glitz of Bollywood in this Christmas show with a difference."
If you want a change from the normal pantomime, Dick Whittington Goes Bollywood is the show for you. It is everything you would expect from a pantomime plus a bit more. The show is a hilarious Bollywood adaptation of the classic story of Dick Whittington and contains a variety of songs which have been re-written by Farrukh Dhondy who has done a splendid job. Let's just say I never thought I would hear a Bollywood version of Gangnam Style - but it worked and I was pleasantly surprised!
