A big fat Indian wedding makes its West End splash on July 16 as ‘Mrs Kapoor’s Daughter’s Wedding 2 - Mauritius’ stages a one-off show for the “Bride’s Side” and “Groom’s Side” at Adelphi Theatre in London.

The message from the makers for audience: “Fasten your seat belts for a fun-filled journey, as Mrs Kapoor plans her daughter’s destination wedding to Mauritius. Will the family be able to stick to the holiday restrictions or will they be raising the barriers at the airport?

The award-winning British Indian laugh-out-loud theatre production is overflowing with comedy, singing, dancing and dhol, entertaining audiences young and old. It’s the all-inclusive package you most definitely want to book.”

After four phenomenal UK tours and audience figures nearing 100,000, ‘Mrs Kapoor’s Daughter’s Wedding’ makes its West End stopover for one night only this week.

“Don’t forget to dress in your themed colours as our air hostesses will be ready to greet you on arrival. If you’re supporting the groom, dress in blue, and if you’re supporting the bride come dressed in red,” said director Archana Kumar.

“Grab those first-class seats quick and join us for the destination wedding of the year,” it added.
