MUMBAI: After an overwhelming show in Delhi, the third edition of Chivas Studio over the weekend in Mumbai hosted a 1960s-based Broadway musical extravaganza â€?Love & All That Jazz’ directed by Rohan Sippy.
Music by Ranjit Barot, written by Aliya Curmally, produced by Chivas India, choreographed by Terence Lewis and styled by David Abraham and Rakesh Thakore, Love & All That Jazz was a simple quintessential tale brought to life through the pizzazz of the 60s and its racy music. Combining the musical story telling tradition of Broadway and giving it a stylish twist, Sippy conceived and directed the story of love set in the backdrops of all that is very 60’s. A tale of love and longing was played by Ali Fazal, Shahana Goswami, and Rahul Dev.
