Didn't really want to go but the Mrs did, so I went along. Not really into musicals my thought was well might as well watch B4U music etc. Have to say it wasn't too bad. The comedy bits in the middles of acts adds to it. Overall not disappointed that I went.

I am not one to leave reviews but i was absolutely amazed by this performance. The dance, music, costumes..everything was spectacular. I'd highly recommend people to watch this if it shows again! I would happily pay to watch this again!

With great regret, not a good show at all. Left in the interval. Too overly pretense, poor speaker quality in the theatre, awful costumes, could smell the sweat off the dancers sitting in the stalls, far too many bias religious references. Dance routines were far too basic, nothing like it was advertised. Waste of money and time.

Absolutely great performances and dances by all the cast. I have seen many Bollywood type theater shows of which some of the others are probably better in terms of story line than Taj Express - but it is a good show :)

Dancers were amazing but would have hoped for more of a storyline. Some of the dancing became a little boring . there were a few diverse and contemporary routines which livened up the show.

I loved the colour, dancing and music - Very well written and the ending when the actors danced with members of the audience was absolutely terrific. The musical was somewhat let down by the lack of air conditioning provided by the theatre. I felt sick at points and my family member almost fainted.
