Director

Rediscover the beauty of human connection in The Lunchbox — a new musical adaptation of Ritesh Batra’s internationally acclaimed film filled with heart, humor, and hope. In bustling Mumbai, a lunchbox delivery meant for one man lands in the hands of another, sparking an unlikely bond between a young wife longing to be seen and a widower nearing retirement. As notes pass back and forth with each meal, their words blossom into a romance that might save them both. Directed by Tony Award-winner Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown) and featuring performances from Manu Narayan (Broadway’s Bombay Dreams, Apple TV’s Your Friends & Neighbors) and Kuhoo Verma (Berkeley Rep’s Monsoon Wedding and Octet, Off-Broadway’s Heathers: The Musical), The Lunchbox is a tale of love, yearning, and new beginnings — one that will leave you believing in the bravery of opening your heart to the unexpected.
