A musical adventure centered around the lives of the city’s most beloved teenagers—Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel, and Dalton—The Archies is set in the fictitious city of Riverdale in 1960s India. A unique Anglo-Indian community serves as the backdrop for The Archies, which explore themes of rebellion, friendship, love, and heartbreak.
