Frankie Goes to Bollywood comes to the Queen Elizabeth Hall at The Southbank Centre this Summer.

Expect dazzling dance, epic songs and sweeping romance in this new musical from the makers of Britain’s Got Bhangra.

Inspired by real stories of British women caught in the spotlight of the biggest film industry in the world, Frankie Goes to Bollywood is a spectacular all-singing-all-dancing tale of heroes and villains, with all the costumes and the spectacle of a Bollywood feature film.

Drawing inspiration from both traditional Bollywood music and the best of western musical theatre, Frankie goes to Bollywood is a carefully integrated hybrid musical – designed to appeal to lovers of the Bollywood genre and also lovers of a good old West End extravaganza.

Frankie Goes to Bollywood runs from 31 July – 18 Aug at Queen Elizabeth Hall at The Southbank Centre London.

Frankie never wanted to be a star, all she’s ever really wanted is a close and loving family – but after a chance encounter with an up-and-coming director, she finds herself transported to Bollywood, cast in a movie and thrust into the limelight. Might the Bollywood world provide her with the family and community she has always dreamed of?

Suddenly Frankie is immersed in the world of fame and fortune but as she climbs the sparkling staircase of stardom, each step makes her question about what she is willing to do, or be subjected to, for success.
