About A Beat of Our Own:
From the Tony Award-winning producers of Hadestown comes A Beat of Our Own — a brand-new musical comedy that pulls you straight into the pulsating rhythms, kaleidoscopic colors and raw energy of competitive bhangra dance.
After leading their college team to victory at the Michigan State Championships, teammates Mary and Preeti find themselves bound for Nationals.
But when they clash over Mary’s plan to fuse multiple Indian styles into their routine, Mary breaks off and forms her own squad. There’s only one problem: aside from her chaotic roommate Sunita, none of the new recruits have ever danced before. Armed with a new sense of purpose — and a little help from a former Bollywood star — Mary sets out to mold a ragtag group of lovable misfits into title-worthy contenders. But do they stand a chance against Preeti and her team of bhangra all-stars?
Directed by Olivier Award nominee Stafford Arima and featuring musical staging by Tony Award nominee Jesse Robb, choreography from Rujuta Vaidya, music and lyrics by Sam Willmott, and a book by Rehana Lew Mirza and Mike Lew, this hilarious, heartfelt show is a proud celebration of what happens when a fractured community finds common ground through the power of dance, creativity and understanding.
“A Beat of Our Own… expands the musical theater vocabulary, and probably belongs on Broadway. It starts with a deceptively standard story about misfit underdogs; and it goes out — entertainingly and quite literally — with a Bhangra.”
Produced by special arrangement with Mara Isaacs, Tom Kirdahy and Peggy Koenig
