Puneet Issar, who played Duryodhana in B. R. Chopra's hit television series 'Mahabharat,’ is ready to tell the epic narrative of 'Ramayana' in a Broadway-style musical, titled ‘Jai Shri Ram - Ramayan’.
The show will be performed from mid-April to mid-May in several locations across the US and Canada, including Dallas, California Bay Area, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Chicago, Houston, Toronto, Vancouver, Raleigh, North Carolina, and Boston.
The show, written, produced, and directed by Puneet Issar and Siddhant Issar, lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes. The Broadway-style theatrical production includes 13 unique soundtracks and a live background score.
“I am thrilled to premiere this grandeur act, offering audiences in the US and Canada a glimpse of Indian artistry and talent through this unforgettable epic narrative. This is not only an ancient Indian epic, the production also portrays human relationships, and values of humanity, steering clear of religious themes,” Puneet said, sharing the details about the show.
“This show is a must for today’s generation and I can’t wait to spread joy and entertainment through our performances. I am looking forward to forging new memories for sure,” he added.
The musical features an ensemble cast, including Puneet as Raavan, Vindu Dara Singh as Hanuman, Shilpa Raizada as Sita, and Siddhant Issar as Ram.
“Jai Shri Ram – Ramayan is India’s longest-running Broadway-style musical extravaganza and making its debut in the USA & Canada, uniting global audiences in an unparalleled celebration of cultural richness,” Puneet pointed out.
“The idea behind this Broadway musical is to showcase and celebrate our Indian history, talent as well as artistry. After an incredible run in India, we are eager to amplify the excitement manifold as we embark on this fresh global stage experience,” he added.
