The Sound of Music first premiered in New York in 1959 earlier than debuting in London’s West End in 1961. This month, it got here to Mumbai for the primary time. 

It was, in actual fact, the primary time any main Broadway present has come to India, and it’s a part of a push by Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and his household that’s bringing worldwide artwork, retail manufacturers and extra to a metropolis that has one of many fastest-growing millionaire populations on this planet. The first Apple store in India opened on the Ambanis’ Jio World Drive mall in April, together with the primary Pret a Manger, which feels extra like an upscale espresso store than the utilitarian grab-and-go sandwich outlets throughout the UK.
