LAUGHistan is pleased to announce the world premiere production of Samrat Chakrabarti and Sanjiv Jhaveri’s BUMBUG The Musical, directed by Mercedes Murphy. BUMBUG The Musical will play a limited engagement at The Clurman Theatre (Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd Street) until Saturday, December 22.
BUMBUG The Musical, a new Rock Opera by Samrat Chakrabarti and Sanjiv Jhaveri, is an electrifying musical reinvention of “A Christmas Carol” told through the looking glass of NYC Immigrants and Hyphenated America. Like so many immigrants, disillusioned Deli-owner Scroogewala left his motherland years ago to pursue the American dream. Amidst his battle with holiday merriment, Scroogewala is visited by a motley crew of misfits who remind him that love, loss and laughter are all a part of that dream he’d almost given up on.

BUMBUG The Musical is the FIRST Full Length Musical authored and produced by the Indian-American diaspora in New York City.
The production stars Kiarri Andrews, Andrew Guilarte*, Brooke Ishibashi*, Matthew Knowland*, Adrienne C. Moore*, Debargo Sanyal*, Lipica Shah*, and Falu.
We absolutely enjoy the musical and are impressed by the great voices of two leading actresses: Lipica Shah as “Sunita” and Falu as “Sunita’s mom”, especially the song “Aja, Aja, Aja….” has been playing in our heads and we just can’t wait for more those high energy fun music and dance movement. We highly recommend it!
