Amazing Dubai, the first-ever musical in English about Dubai, is set to premiere at the Madinat Theatre, Souk Madinat Jumeirah on Wednesday, 4^th October. Featuring multi-national UAE based talent, Amazing Dubai is a spectacular telling of the Emirate’s journey from a small fishing community in the 1800s  to one of the most modern metropolises in the world. Targeting tourists and residents alike, this hour-long musical with an upbeat script and sophisticated production promises to be Dubai’s new attraction. Amazing Dubai – The Musical will be Madinat Theatre’s resident show, performed twice a day, year-round.

Brian Wilkie, entrepreneur and Executive Producer of Amazing Dubai, first conceived the idea over a decade ago. A resident of Dubai for almost 40 years and a passionate theatre enthusiast, Brian wanted to create a show that challenges the stereotype of Dubai as being only shopping malls and beaches. Teaming up with Australian playwright, director and producer Alex Broun and award-winning writer-director Sanjeev Dixit, the show started to take shape in April this year. Work on the production started to gather steam with Madinat Theatre coming on board in June as the long-term venue partner.
