If Dharker's performance came in for rave reviews, the dance of the slum dwellers received a fair amount of criticism.
But Michael Billington of The Guardian, who had difficulty in accepting the notion of Bombay's back streets filled with happy dancing slum dwellers, conceded the 'lavish musical' was an invitation 'to enter a world of dreams and escape.' The Daily Telegraph conceded Lloyd Webber's idea of producing a show set in Bollywood was 'daring,' especially since the composer, known for such worldwide phenomena as Cats and Phantom Of The Opera, was not using his music at all. Llyod Webber chose a relative unknown (in the Western world) composer, A R Rahman, to score the music for his latest production. |
