NOOR THE MUSICAL

Bilet Bangla Vision: We are a community based Neurodiverse, ethnically/culturally theatre group based in the West Midlands.

Born from the silence of lockdown, Jay’s words gave life to Noor The Musical. As a writer, executive producer, and founder of Bilet Bangla Vision, he transforms untold stories into powerful theatre. From early performances in the UK and Bangladesh, the script was translated into English and brought back to the UK. Now, the story has been adapted into a full musical, created with a dedicated team and a mission to bring unseen voices into the light.

Sonali, one of the producers of Noor, is a Speech and Language Therapist with a deep commitment to advocating for neurodiversity as well as ethnic, cultural, and gender-diverse minority groups. Alongside her professional work, she has always been closely involved with the arts and culture. A passionate writer, Sonali creates poetry, articles, short stories, and blogs, and is a dancer trained in Kathak (Indian classical dance), Bengali Tagore dance, and Indian folk traditions. She believes that every element of the universe carries a profound story, waiting to be discovered through a creative lens.

Brandon has a varied creative background and brings his unique skillsets to Noor. With his combined studies in Music Composition, Musical Theatre and Acting he was able to easily adapt Noor the Play into Noor The Musical, working closely with Jay and devising entire new scenes that will make the musical version spellbinding!
