Latin Rock-n-Roll Musical!

By Teatro SEA of New York, NY

A vibrant Latin rock-and-roll musical puppet show based on beloved Cuban and Puerto Rican folktales, Martina, the Little Roach, follows Martina on her journey to discover true love, happiness, and friendship.

Recommended for Pre-K through 6th-grade audiences, the production is performed bilingually (Spanish and English), inviting young people to connect across language and culture. Audiences will be transported into a dream-like, interactive world thanks to colorful bunraku-style puppetry by master puppet artist José A. López, paired with infectious Latin rhythms and rock-and-roll energy.

Experience a joyful and lively event that will have you dancing in your seats, inspired by its warmth, humor, and musical flair.
