Dubai Parks and Resorts, one of Middle East’s largest integrated theme park resort, has launched a search for performers for a variety of shows across its parks and at the world’s first Bollywood themed park, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai.
Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, in association with Wizcraft, will scout for over 200 performers including dancers, singers, actors and acrobats, when it opens in 2016, for its live entertainment shows and its Bollywood musical. The casting hunt will provide a platform for entertainers to take their talent across borders, allowing them to showcase their talent to the millions of visitors that the park is projected to attract. Dubai Parks and Resorts will also be on the lookout for additional talent required within the destination.
Wizcraft International Private Limited will identify some of the most sought after talent among the numerous entries registered online. The shortlisted artists will later be auditioned in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Dubai by a panel of experts. The chosen artists will be signed as performers for the musical as well as be considered for the park’s daily live entertainment shows.
Thomas Jellum, General Manager, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai said, “At Bollywood Parks™ Dubai we want to showcase the very best of India through music, dance and culture. We are extremely excited to launch this campaign, which will give the selected performers the opportunity to be part of one of the most exciting destinations in the region.”
Situated in Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, the Rajmahal Theatre, home to the spectacular Bollywood musical reflects the exquisiteness of India’s culture and architectural heritage. Envisioned to house one of the most striking Broadway-style themed musicals, the sprawling 60,000-square-foot theatre will feature extravagant Bollywood style music with state-of-the-art LED stage backdrops and spectacular performances.
Commenting on the auditions, Viraf Sarkari, Director of Wizcraft, said, “We have never been let down by the talent that emerges from our country. We are extremely happy that Bollywood Parks™ Dubai chose India to kick-start the auditions for the musical. We will ensure that no talent goes unnoticed and will create a power troop of the best to represent India at the first ever Bollywood-themed park in the World.”
Dubai Parks and Resorts is set to be the region’s largest integrated theme park destination and Riverland™ Dubai will be at its heart as both the main entrance to the resort and also a connecting point between all three theme parks - motiongate™ Dubai, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, LEGOLAND® Dubai, LEGOLAND® Water Park and the Lapita™ Hotel, a Polynesian-themed hotel catering to families.
