MUMBAI: It’s back! After a successful opening season in 2018, #SingIndiaSing is back to enthral audiences yet again! The musical will be staged on 1, 2 and 3 March 2019 at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre at NCPA, Mumbai. “Come watch the music,” says Rahul daCunha the co-scriptwriter and lyricist of #SingIndiaSing
The show tells a grand tale about the journey of four young aspirants who are willing to do all it takes to become India’s next top singing sensation. After battling thousands of others to get on this coveted shortlist, the top 4 are willing to leave no stone unturned to ascend to the number one spot. The reward, it is not just a big cash prize, but also a gateway to fame and a massive head start in their budding music careers.
The musical is set in the format of a reality show with cameras recording every contestant’s every move. All aspects of their lives, including their individual pasts, are under scrutiny constantly. Interspersed among all the larger-than-life song and dance numbers, are videos of the contestants being interviewed by celebrity blogger Miss Malini and behind-the-scenes footage of their time offstage during the 14-day long competition. This allows the audience to gain insight into multiple aspects of each contestant’s personality, especially the individual internal conflicts and grey areas. All of this set to music by the multi-genre maestro, composer and producer Clinton Cerejo!
