Bombay Dreams, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-produced musical that first played London and later Broadway, may wind up in the city that inspired its rags-to-riches story.

Reuters reports that the Bollywood-themed musical may play Bombay and other Asian cities within the next year’s time. Kerry Comerford, the general manager of Really Useful Company in the Asia Pacific, told Reuters, “[Bombay Dreams] will require some re-visiting, as audiences here are exposed to this type of fare, so we have to see if they’ll want to see it live. . . There’s been a lot of interest from India, from Singapore, Malaysia, China and South Korea, so we are here to identify possible venues and sponsors.”

The musical, according to Reuters, would feature an all-Asian cast and would cost $7 million to produce in each country.
