Following a critically-acclaimed run in 2016, ¡Figaro! (90210) returns to the New York stage April 7th through April 23rd for 15 performances only. The cast recently met the press and BroadwayWorld was there to capture the action. Check out the photos!
With its unique mix of uproarious comedy and heartfelt message of cultural inclusion in our nation of immigrants, ¡Figaro! (90210) is back at The Duke on 42nd Street, a New 42nd Street project (229 West 42nd Street). Celebrating diversity in a time of social unrest, the three-week limited engagement opens with high praise from Maestro Plácido Domingo and a special partnership with Sing for Hope.
This adaptation of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro blends the original score with a new English (and Spanglish) libretto by Vid Guerrerio and recasts the title character and his fiancée as undocumented workers in a mansion of a Beverly Hills real estate mogul and his actress wife. Combining the original score with fresh, pop-culture references and up-to-the-minute slang, librettist Guerrerio gives Mozart a contemporary kick with this amped-up, pared-down two-and-a-half hour musical that infuses the timeless comedy of the original with an especially timely relevance.
