spoke with Rao about’s all South Asian team, how he came to star in the production and what he’s doing with all that chicken curry he’s cooking.The short story is [Geffen artistic director] Matt Shakman called me when were in month three of lockdown and asked me if this is something I would be interested in doing. They were doing Geffen Stayhouse at that point. They had launched [virtual magic theater show] The Present and it was running really successfully.

Starring in the show is not something I ever sought to do initially — the original musical version of this does not involve me [onstage.] It’s actors and singers and live musicians. It’s a full-on production.That concept originally was hatched at Ars Nova in New York and then it was developed there. Then Hypokrit Theatre Company in New York came on board and Arpita Mukherjee attached herself as the director with Hypokrit as the company behind it and we developed it further.
