World Premiere of ANDANZA at Eastwood Performing Arts Center

B Faire Music and Production will present the premiere of Adanza, an original new musical circus journey on the main stage at the Eastwood Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles. Adanza will have a limited run of eight shows over two weekends only, between March 28 — April 5.

A story about exploration, Adanza follows the hero who travels the world finding inspiration everywhere he goes and ultimately learns that it’s never too late to be the person he was always meant to be. Aerial artists meet original music, dance, circus, storytelling and bubbles, yes, bubbles.

With an original music score written and composed by Brooke and Jilbér Ferri, the soundtrack features a mix of styles and genres that fit together to create a contemporary take on musical theatre. If the traditional musical is an album, Adanza is a playlist; where each number is unique and fresh, but they still come together, while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Adanza was created by producer and songwriter Brooke Ferri and singer and songwriter Joseph (Jilbér) Ferri. Jilbér Ferri, a trilingual triple threat, danced professionally in Miami, performed musical theater Off Broadway in New York and is an accomplished songwriter.
