Well, opening night was as expected, a huge success and the cast was excellent in their performance of only the second show about Panama in English! Get your tickets now as they will be selling out the rest of the tour here before they are off to Canada.
Here is my friend Mark Heyer’s report on the show.
A musical about Panama?—?with all-Panamanian cast and crew but performed in English. How hard could it be?
Some five years ago, dreaming big dreams with friends around their pool in Santa Clara, T. Rob Brown and Yolanda Van Der Kolk pondered this question. We all laughed and took a dip.
Panama: The Musical is the realization of their seemingly impossible dream. And what a reality it is!
Sitting in the comfortable Teatro Atheneo just across from the Miraflores locks, one might imagine that we were in New York or London. The music, lyrics, lighting, choreography, direction and stagecraft are were all first class?—?astonishing for a first public performance. Everyone involved should be very proud of what they have created.
Panama: The Musical has a very bright future?—?around the world.
