About the Show

Teatro SEA presents an otherworldly revue honoring Afro-Cuban music superstars La Sonora Matancera. Part of Teatro Fest NYC 2016.

This musical celebrates La Sonora Matancera and its late legendary members: Myrta Silva, Daniel Santos, and Celia Cruz. Silva and Santos are the stars of a nightclub in Heaven hosted by the Archangel Camacho. One night, Celia Cruz arrives and wants to share the stage with them. It turns into a memorable evening as they sing their greatest hits. 'La Gloria' combines a live orchestra, singers, puppets, and a little celestial magic. Performed in English with songs in Spanish.

For a previous production

"Sequins abound, as one might expect from any self-respecting Latin Cabaret. There are only so many situations in which it’s hard to have too much sparkle, and 'La Gloria' takes full advantage of being one of those situations, with costume and set design (also by Calero). A nightclub in the clouds is silver, blue, feathered, ruffles, white tuxedos and sparkle...This bilingual production is jubilant, and no less so for an English-speaking audience.”
