OPENING NIGHT: MAMBO KINGS

Tonight my gorgeous baby sis & I went to the opening night of Mambo Kings: The Musical. I'll leave the reviews to the critics. I have to say the women steal this show: Christiane Noll (Broadway's Jekyll & Hyde) was amazing and a true Broadway star. Grammy-winning Latin star Albita was sensational - Her accent made it difficult to understand some of the lyrics but I didn't care because I LOVE her voice. Justina Machado (Six Feet Under) is such a great actress that her lack of musical theatre experience is nowhere to be seen. She is a scene-stealer. I really loved the nightclub lighting & costumes - to die for. The show is Broadway bound and I wish them the best with their journey - I do hope that they take the time to trim & fix the show before going to Broadway - it has a lot of potential.
