Take a satirical and lyrical trip to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, as the most popular musical ever produced there makes its DC premiere. Performed in Spanish with English surtitles, Carlos Ferrari's comedy looks at the history of the Northeastern Caribbean nation and its people, who refer to themselves as Boricua, starting with the Taíno natives, followed by the Spanish conquerors and the good ol' U.S. of A. Puerto Rican artists from the Island, New York, and Washington star in the GALA production, along with musicians from the hot salsa band, Sin Miedo. Learn More

Great story, well-acted and directed. Only flaw was for audience right side: view of subtitles obstructed occasionally by characters on platform (only affects us non-Spanish speakers). Really enjoyed it!Written on Mar 06 2012

My friend and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was a great story and great acting. My friend and I fell a little bit in love with the "lector" too.Written on Mar 07 2012
We also appreciated how clear the spoken Spanish was.

The play is amazing -- even for a non-Spanish speaker like me -- and very powerful.It won a Pulitzer, so I was expecting something outstanding and was not disappointed. I did find the placement of the surtitle screen a bit awkward, though, and missed several lines when I was looking at the actors. Overall, it was a wonderful theater experience. The theater itself is intimate and well designed -- seating is very raked with good sight lines, at least from my seat (next-to-last row and pretty far to one side). And it's very Metro and Metrobus accessible.Written on Mar 06 2012

Description
Photo Credit: Ken Howard/South Coast Repertory Theatre
The arrival of a new “lector” at a 1929 Cuban cigar factory in Ybor City, Florida becomes a catalyst amongst the workers. As the “lector” begins to read from Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, forbidden passions are unleashed in this Pultizer prize winning play about the transformative power of literature in a landscape that pits old traditions against changing economic realities.
