"Bhangin' It" is a thrilling new musical that won the prestigious Richard Rodgers Award. The story revolves around the world of intercollegiate competitive bhangra, a traditional Punjabi folk dance that has evolved into an American dance-off with high stakes. Mary, a biracial college student, believes she has the right moves to join the Bengal Tigers bhangra team. However, she gets ousted from the team for not being "Indian enough." Determined to prove herself, Mary and her roommate Sunita form a team whose only requirement is a passion for dancing. Can this diverse group of individuals compete against the skilled bhangra professionals? "Bhangin' It" is a bold, lively, and delightful production that celebrates the traditions we inherit from the past and those we create for the future.
