Why it matters
This highlights the growth of the performing arts scene in India and the role of non-profits in fostering cultural development.
“We have exceptional talent in Bengaluru; I have seen musicals on Broadway and I can tell you some singers here are not just on par, but are superior to them,” says Leila Alvares, founder-director, CAUSE Foundation. “That is the reason I want people to watch them perform — to recognise the talent that exists here.”
The CAUSE (Cooperation of the Arts for the Upliftment of Society & the Environment) Foundation will present Cry Baby , a Broadway musical, based on the 1990 film of the same name on September 5, 6 and 11. Though a romantic comedy, the show also addresses issues of identity and societal norms.
