Himanshu from the Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC) passed on information about an event I thought mutineers around NYC and Stanford would find interesting. Tea with Chachaji is an off-Broadway family musical based on the the book “Chachaji’s Cup” by Uma Krishnaswami and directed and choreographed by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj. It tells the story of a boy, his great-uncle and a teacup. Produced through a partnership between IAAC and Making Books Sing, the musical stars Raja Burrows as Neel, a young boy whose great-uncle, played by Tony Mirrcandani, teaches him valuable lessons about life through stories about a teacup brought over from India.

Now that sounds pretty interesting.
Something based on Chachaji’s Cup is something to watch for.
Thanks for posting.
Sounds ... BORING!
Why do a lot of Indian related arts news seem to center on some small play or a book reading or some classical music crap?
I don;t care for Bollywood either. But there's gotta be a middle ground.
Weird.
Think about it. Too many "fine' arts. All super polite company type boring stuff. Either that or mindless crappy Bollywood stuff.
Tea with chachaji. Geez, sounds like a prescription for my insomnia.
good promo for indian culture abroad
is this anything like two girls 1 cup?
Yay! more desi musicals on broadway.

This play is funny and touching, and the music and lyrics are great. I'm not the only one who thinks so---check out the review by Backstage: http://www.backstage.com/bso/reviews-ny-theatre-off-off-broadway/tea-with-chachaji-1004063130.story
