‘Patel's Millions’, a theatrical adventure from Madraj Productions, marks a dazzling new addition to the UK's eclectic theatre scene. The brand-new family musical with foot-tapping Bollywood songs, dazzling dances and laugh-out-loud comedy pitches itself as an unforgettable experience.
The story revolves around Mr Patel, played by the talented comic Parle Patel, who is a shopkeeper with big dreams. He wants to give his family a better life and become really rich, just like the famous Ambani family. One night, something amazing happens and his life completely changes – he becomes incredibly wealthy! But as Mr Patel's fortune grows, so do the problems. Relatives he never knew about suddenly appear, his children start acting differently, and everyone wants to know how he became so rich.
Written and directed by Ash Mukadam and Steve Nijjar, now in its last leg of the tour, this sell-out comedy about a Gujarati family has already made a mark with audiences around Britain. The cast includes a talented group of British Indian and Indian actors, including Aleeza Humranwala as Pooja, Karan Maini as Jitesh, Shreya Vadnerkar as Diya, Sheetal Pandya Bhattacharya as Lakshmi Devi and others.
