After
 more than 200 spellbinding performances across six Asian countries, 
India's most spectacular musical play now premieres in North America. 
Mughal-e-Azam, produced by Shapoorji Pallonji Group and directed by 
Feroz Abbas Khan, is based on K Asif’s 1960 classic film of the same 
name – showcasing India’s rich culture of Kathak dances and classical 
music intertwined in a legendary love story. Presented in North America 
by Cinema on Stage this summer, the 13-city tour will be making a stop 
at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago Friday, June 23 through Saturday, 
June 24.&nbsp; 
For more than 60 years, the story of Mughal-e-Azam continues to 
enchant legions of fans across the globe. India’s most expensive theatre
 production comprises mesmerizing dance sequences, spectacular lighting,
 extravagant costumes, and live signing. To date, it has performed in 
Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Dubai, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Muscat, Doha, 
and soon, North America. 
India’s first Broadway-style musical, with a cast and crew of more 
than 150 people, has been met with all-around accolades following its 
2016 premiere in Mumbai. In 2017, it won seven out of the 14 
BroadwayWorld India Awards, including Best Play, Best Director, Best 
Costume Design, Best Choreography, Best Original Set Design, Best 
Original Lighting Design and Best Ensemble Cast. 
Mughal-e-Azam centers on the love story between Prince Salim and 
court dancer Anarkali. Upon learning of this forbidden relationship, 
Emperor Akbar vehemently disapproves and must choose between his 
responsibility towards his empire and his duty as father of a beloved 
son. The play is in Hindi/Urdu or Hindustani, with LED screens 
displaying English subtitles.
