Pierrot’s Troupe Presents
K L Saigal (Hindi – Urdu Musical, *ing TOM ALTER & 15 more)
MAY 20 (Sun) 7:30 pm: Duration- 1.45hrs:
SHRI RAM CENTRE
4, Safdar Hashmi Marg , New Delhi

Featuring – Tom Alter, Hareesh Chhabbra, Niti Phool, Vijay Gupta,
Anju Chabbra, Ram N Diwakar, Yashpal Malik, Manohar Pandey, Himanshu Srivastava, Shakeel Anwar, Pulkit Sharma, etc.

The play is a revisit to the aura and era of the great K L Saigal. It is a ‘Faction’--- where ‘facts’ blend with ‘fiction’ to result into a musical drama.

The play does not only portray Saigal the immortal, but Saigal the mortal also --- Saigal as Sita ji in Jammu, Saigal as salesman in Delhi, Saigal as struggler in Calcutta and Saigal as superstar in Bombay.

In the process, the play re-lives the music and cinema of yesteryears. This is how the story of Saigal is replete with events and anecdotes which center, no less, around the legends of equal stature, say, Ustad Faiyyaz Khan, D.V. Palusker, Punkaj Mullick, R.C. Boral, K.C. Dey, Naushad and many more.

No less is the play dotted with live recital Saigal’s Ghazals, Dadras, Thumris and film songs which envelope and suffuse the listener as no one else’s do --- “Aah ko chahiye ek umr asar hone tak”, “Lag gai chot karejva mein hai Rama” and “Baalam aaye baso mor-e man mein”, to name a few.

The play stars some of the prominent theater and cinema artists of India, notably TOM ALTER, India’s only Urdu speaking Gora, and Yaspal Malik, who, mazingly, looks, sings and acts like K L Saigal.

Tickets: Rs. 500/-, Rs 300/-, Rs 200/- & Rs 100/- available at SHRI RAM CENTRE from May 10 (11am to 6 pm) and on the day of show.
