Al-Adl Group Studios unveiled the official poster for the musical play ‘Umm Kulthum.. Melting in the Voice of the Lady’, their first production and the largest musical theater work portraying the biography of the Star of the East.

The poster features a painted portrait of the upper half of Umm Kulthum as she used to appear in her concerts, with the title ‘Umm Kulthum.. Melting in the Voice of the Lady’ written below in golden color.

Dr. Medhat Al-Adl stated: “The importance of the play lies in revealing secrets about Umm Kulthum and her songs, and love stories in her life, for the first time.” He added that the play offers viewers the first musical theater production comparable to Broadway musicals that covers Umm Kulthum’s biography. He explained, “When we talk about Umm Kulthum, we mention theater, and when we say theater for a singer, it means a musical play. Therefore, I see this as the most suitable form to present the play, as musical theater includes all elements of spectacle, which are used in this play.”

The play covers important milestones in Umm Kulthum’s life and her influence, including her rise from a village in Dakahlia Governorate to Cairo, becoming the most important singer in Egypt, the Arab world, and internationally renowned.

The play is written and composed by Medhat Al-Adl, directed by Ahmed Fouad, with music and composition by Khaled El Kamar and Ihab Abdel Wahid. The executive producer is Israa Taher, marketing head Aya Al-Adl, artistic producer Mohamed Adel, set designer Mahmoud Sabry, costume designer Reem Al-Adl, vocal coaches Prof. Jehan Al-Nasser and Prof. Iman Hosni, lighting design by Yasser Shaalan, and choreography by Amr Patrick.

‘Umm Kulthum.. Melting in the Voice of the Lady’ is produced by Al-Adl Group Studios (Medhat Al-Adl) and is scheduled to be performed in October 2025 at the “Al-Masrah” theater in the Mövenpick Hotel, Media Production City, Sixth of October City.
