Change all your plans! Come Fall in Love is ‘loud, kitsch and joyous’ (The Guardian) and ‘a certified crowd pleaser!’ (The Times). Don’t miss the UK premiere of the new musical comedy sending audiences wild at the Manchester Opera House - until 21st June only.
‘Brimming with heart and irresistible charm’ (WhatsOnStage), this globetrotting romcom from the co-writer of Legally Blondeand Mean Girls is based on the record-breaking Bollywood phenomenon Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge – also known as DDLJ – and directed by the movie’s original director, Aditya Chopra.
Sparks fly as Jena Pandya (Mamma Mia!, Bhangra Nation) and Ashley Day (Netflix’s Dynasty, An American in Paris) bring ‘undeniable chemistry’ (The Guardian) to the tale of Simran, a young British woman whose future is all set with an arranged marriage back in India. But, as she sets off around Europe for one last summer of freedom, she soon finds herself stranded with laid-back, party-loving Roger. Now – with cultures colliding – the unlikely pair find that falling in love is just a passport to trouble…
An ‘explosion of colour, light and culture’ (I Love Manchester) with ‘glorious dancing’ (The Times) and soaring new English songs by legendary composers Vishal and Sheykhar, Come Fall in Love takes you on an ‘exhilarating ride’ (WhatsOnStage) from Paris and Rome to the stunning yellow mustard fields of Punjab.
It ‘leaves the audience on their feet’ (The Guardian) so don’t miss your connection - book your tickets now!
