Kingdom of Dreams is set to launch two fantastic live entertainment Bollywood style shows.
"Here I Am", Shiamak Davar's new mega musical production will debut this year alongside Jhumroo, a musical comedy, which launches in October 2011.
"Kingdom of Dreams is reflective of India, its rich culture and seamless heritage and I am proud to promote my country, my India, through this platform", says Shahrukh Khan, Global Ambassador for Kingdom of Dreams. Kingdom of Dreams is a world class experience and I am ecstatic to be part of an Indian brand that has set the stage for entertainment at its very best."
"Jhumroo" is a creative musical comedy which is filled with nineteen Bollywood retro songs and is a celebration of the spirit of Kishore Kumar. Aside from being a great laugh and joyous entertainment, the twists and turns of the plotline as well as the astonishing use of technology to tell the story will be on display at the Nautakni Mahal at the Kingdom of Dreams.
"Here I Am" is a reflective personal journey of Shiamak Davar showcasing his journey and triumph over obstacles and challenges to achieve goals--the personal, emotional and spiritual ones. The show highlights the use of "inner strength" on the route to victory and showcases the patented "Shiamak style" of dance, larger than life sets, unique costumes and cutting edge technology. A fantastic fusion of Indian music, alongside pop, Broadway allows the songs and dances to flow colorfully and dazzle the eyes and ears of those watching. "I am really excited to perform live at Nautanki Mahal in Kingdom of Dreams", says Davar. "'Here I Am" is a unique theatrical specacular with an international format which will be seen for the first time at the amazing Kingdom of Dreams. Performances by Davar himself alongside 300 artists will accompany a quartet of live percussionists. There will also be some fascinating instruments used such as smashed garbage bins, tubes, tubs and pipes.
The "Kingdom of Dreams" unique concept has created a buzz across the globe. "It is a very proud moment for all of us. Kingdom of Dreams has been conceptualised to offer a live entertainment experience at par with the best around the world", says Viraf Sarkari, Director of Wizcraft International Entertainment, which heads up Kingdom of Dreams. "We hope to capture the imagination of the world with this spectacular destination and our new musical extravaganzas.
