‘Mughal-e-Azam’ is about to close its 14-city North American tour in Southern California, at Long Beach's Terrace Theater on Aug. 26 and 27.
Soon after Feroz Abbas Khan mounted his theatrical production “Mughal-e-Azam: The Musical’’ in Mumbai in 2016, he said he began fielding calls from producers who wanted to bring India’s first Broadway-style musical to the U.S.
Actually, one did, however. As a result, “Mughal-e-Azam” — which translates as “The Great Emperor” — is about to close its 14-cityThe musical production is in Hindi and Urdu, with English subtitles playing out on LED screens. Aanand Dawda, founder of the Houston-based Cinema on Stage and executive producer of the North American tour, said “Mughal” is the most expensive production that has ever traveled outside of India.
“Mughal-e-Azam” is based on a 1960 film by the same name about the legend of Mughal Prince Salim, who becomes captivated by Anarkali, a court dancer. The prince’s father, Emperor Akbar, refuses to let them marry, leading to a literal war between father and son. The movie itself was based on a classic 1922 stage show, “Anarkali.” In the contemporary musical staging, Priyanka Barve and Neha Sargam share the role of Anarkali, singing live.
