Photo Flash: Opening Night at BABALU with Esparza, Arnaz
Last week the Adrienne Arsht Center was honored to host the Miami premiere of BABALU, Lucie Arnaz's loving tribute to the music of her father, Desi Arnaz. The performance featured a show-stopping star turn by Miami's own Raúl Esparza who left audiences amazed and enchanted!
Broadway dance diva Valarie Pettiford contributed a smoky voice and sultry moves and in a rare, special appearance, Desi Arnaz, Jr. set the stage on fire with his brilliant percussion!
