Come Fall in Love
Change all your plans! Come Fall in Love, the hilarious, heart-winning new musical comedy from the co-writer of Legally Blonde and lyricist of Mean Girls – and based on a record-breaking Bollywood phenomenon – makes its UK premiere at the Manchester Opera House in May 2025.
Cultures collide, and West End meets Bollywood, in this joyous stage adaptation of India's longest running blockbuster movie – the high-energy, globe-trotting romcom Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also known as DDLJ.
Meet Simran –a young British woman whose future is all set with an arranged marriage back in India –as she sets off around Europe for one last summer of freedom. But getting stranded with laid-back, party-loving Roger isn’t in the guidebook, and now the unlikely pair find that falling in love is just a passport to trouble. Can Roger possibly win over her strict father? Can Simran stay true to her heritage and her heart? Perhaps their different worlds aren’t really so far away...
Directed by Aditya Chopra, director of the original record-breaking film, Come Fall In Love whisks you from Paris and Rome to the stunning yellow mustard fields of Punjab, in a dizzying, colourful new journey set to the exuberant beat of 18 new songs written especially for the stage.
Brought to you by an award-winning creative team, Come Fall in Love features book & lyrics by Olivier Award-winning Nell Benjamin (Mean Girls with Tina Fey, Legally Blonde with Laurence O'Keefe), music by legendary composers Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani, choreography by Olivier, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Rob Ashford (Frozen, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), associate choreography and Indian dancing by Shruti Merchant (Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Taj Express) and scenic design by Tony Award-winning Derek Mclane (MJ The Musical and Moulin Rouge! The Musical).
Follow your heart wherever it goes...as long as it's to the Manchester Opera House from Thursday 29 May 2025 - Saturday 21 June 2025.
