el apagon / the blackout
Based on a short story by José Luis González
Directed by Rosalba Rolón
Starring José Joaquín García & Jorge B. Merced
Musical director Desmar Guevara

April 12 - 29, 2007

After a much revered European tour that included Slovakia, Holland, Spain, and several cities in the US, El Apagón returns to The Bronx for one final run.

This dynamic production is based on La noche que volvimos a ser gente, the classic story by José Luis González. In this musical comedy two men on a very special mission are trapped in the Subway on the night the lights went out in New York City. As they relive their adventure, the theater transforms into a sonorous world where a live “jukebox” frames the play with original music and popular songs from the 1940’s & 50’s.

Performed in Spanish & English with titles.
