Phizzical Productions presents Big B - The Musical, a new production from the writer/director of the 2005 box office hit Precious Bazaar.

Big B - The Musical highlights the delicate balance between patients, families and the medical staff. It explores the delusions of a young man in psychiatric ward and the impact on his family in his road to recovery. The inspiration behind the play is the life-threatening accident that the legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan had in 1982, and the impact it had on his fans.  The above photographs are a result of workshops that explored Amitabh Bachchan's screen persona Vijay - through a medley of his hits, and performed to excited audiences at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, for the UK Finals of Boogie Woogie 2007. The cast and crew were discovered through BollyIdol 2005/6, a nationwide talent search initiative. Like all Phizzical Productions projects, Big B - The Musical challenges mainstream ideology and mythology surrounding South Asians while offering thought provoking theatre.
