Leading live-entertainment company Starvox Entertainment, Bend it Films and Kintop Pictures in association with TO Live, have announced the lead creative team of their upcoming North American premiere production of Bend it like Beckham: The Musical.
Playing from December 17, 2019 – January 5, 2020 at the Bluma Appel Theatre, St. Lawrence Centre for the Performing Arts, rehearsals are underway in Toronto now with a diverse cast of performers from Canada, the UK, and the US.
A heartwarming musical comedy about bending the rules and living life on your own terms, the musical is a vibrant and colourful story about a teen girl from a South Asian Sikh family who desperately wants to play soccer, against the wishes of her traditional immigrant parents. Set in West London, the story follows two teenage girls from different backgrounds who share an aptitude for soccer and pressure from their families to conform.
Like the film that won over millions of hearts worldwide, the musical marries contemporary British and South Asian music and dance, the joy of discovering your passion and fighting for it, an irreverent sense of humour, and a healthy dose of girl power.
