People behind the production
The Great Indian Musical: Civilization to Nation is a groundbreaking, Broadway-scale Indian musical directed by Feroz Abbas Khan with music by Ajay-Atul. The production reunites a stellar creative team—costumes by Manish Malhotra and guest choreography by Vaibhavi Merchant (with Mayuri Upadhya)—to tell a sweeping story from ancient civilizations to modern nationhood. The U.S. premiere arrived at Lincoln Center as part of NMACC India Weekend, delivering a multi-sensory experience with a 55-piece orchestra led by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, immersive set design, and live, dynamic performances.
