NOOR THE MUSICAL

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.
