If not, attend one at BOLLYWOOD WEDDING at the Italian Gardens PNE from tonight, THURS, JUL. 23 to SUN, JUL. 26. This locally produced gig isnt just a typical musical, its an interactive, participatory musical. According to the Straight "the audience will be limited to 200, but there will be 13 actors, 25 dancers, three roving musicians, and the hot five-piece bhangra band En Karma. Collectively, these artists will tell the story of the groom, Hanuman Singh, and the bride, Sunaya Patel, whose families have brought them together for a potentially ill-conceived arranged marriage." The show's website also notes to guests that "Bollywood Weddingis an outdoor, site-specific dance performance that requires the audience to have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The audience will be walking for most of the performance, on both urban and rural terrains. The audience is advised to wear comfortable, supportive footwear and dress appropriately for Vancouver weather. The performance runs rain or shine." Yup, def not your typical musical.
