After a smash-hit UK tour, Frankie Goes to Bollywood returns—bigger, bolder, and bursting with Bollywood glamour.
More Information (Derby ONE is not responsible for external websites)
This dazzling musical comedy-drama dives deep into the glitzy, high-pressure world of Indian cinema, where dreams are mass-produced, identities are reshaped, and women are expected to smile and play by the script written for them.
At the centre of it all is Frankie, a young British woman with little interest in fame. But her quiet suburban life is turned upside down as she is thrust into a world of dazzling lights, choreographed perfection and media obsession. Frankie must decide: Can she become a star without losing who she really is?
What must she give up to succeed in a man’s world—and what is she willing to fight for?
With show-stopping choreography, lavish costumes, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Frankie Goes to Bollywood is a bold, uplifting story of ambition, transformation, and the power of telling your own story.
Featuring original Bollywood songs by hit composer Harry Anand, this is Rifco Theatre Company’s most ambitious production yet—a celebration of love, identity and courage, packed with joy, drama, and spectacular entertainment.
Whether you’re a fan of musicals, Bollywood films, or powerful British stories, this is one night at the theatre you won’t want to miss.
Anoki Bro street food truck will be serving award-winning traditional Indian street food from 6pm, prior to the following Frankie Goes to Bollywood performances:
Tue 12 May, Wed 13 May, Thu 14 May and Fri 15 May. Find the menu below.
