The Unforgettable Tour

Big Brassy Bollywood arrives in Texas

Bollywood fans, your day has arrived. The Unforgettable Tour is here. The sexiest, most celebrated legends from Indian film — everyone from that dark beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to the reigning king of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, who’s also Aishwarya’s father-in-law, to Preity Zinta — will gather on one stage for an extravaganza of singing and dancing that could only come out of -Bollywood.

Famous for its lush costumes and gorgeous sets, Bollywood should translate into a spectacle of flash and sound to a live venue, especially one as big as the Toyota Center. And though organizers have been very hush-hush about what to expect, most Indian journalists assume that the night of big lights and even bigger stars will feature much-loved song-and-dance numbers from the stars’ popular films. And don’t think about seeing it anywhere else; Houston is the only stop in Texas. 9 p.m. 1510 Polk. For information, call 713-272-7469 or visit www.theunforgettabletour.com. $65 to $200.
