'Navidad Gitana' New Holiday Spectacular

CARNIVAL CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS NAVIDAD GITANA
A NEW HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR DIRECT FROM COLOMBIA

Carnival Center for the Performing Arts will present Navidad Gitana, a spectacular fully-staged family musical, direct from Colombia, with more than 60 actors, singers, and dancers in a colorful fantasy about secret treasures, medieval gypsies, and fearless adventurers. Performed entirely in Spanish, with English subtitles, Navidad Gitana will be at Carnival Center's Ziff Ballet Opera House December 21 through 23.

In Miami for the first time, Navidad Gitana is an original Broadway-style musical created by Colombia's longest-running musical theater company, Misi Compañía de Teatro Musical. Fun for the entire family, the story begins in the Middle Ages with the shipwreck of the Alcañiz, which takes a secret treasure with it as it descends to the bottom of the ocean. The sole survivors - a sailor (Antonio) and a young boy (Martín) - are rescued by gypsies and brought to town, which is where the adventure really begins. Special effects, costumes, and elaborate dance numbers transform the stage into a holiday fantasy land in which fairies dance among the unicorns, mice skate with polar bears, and harlequins parade around with Santa Claus in a story about love, passion, and the true spirit of Christmas.

The book and lyrics for Navidad Gitana were created by the beloved Maria Isabel "Misi" Murillo, founder of Misi Compañía de Teatro Musical, in collaboration with Arturo Tovar. The production is directed and choreographed by Rob Barron.
