Let’s take a look at what we’ve got going on. ⤵
📻 Broadway is back at Dr. Phillips Center!
This week you can catch the touring production of “Girl From The North Country.”
The show, based during the Great Depression, features 20 songs from Bob Dylan, including “Forever Young,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” “Slow Train Coming,” and “Like A Rolling Stone.”
Chiara Trentalange and Ben Biggers are in the show. Check out what they had to say about it and get ticket information.
The show runs through Sunday. If you want more insight on what to expect, anchor Lisa Bell posted her review.
💓 Check out these shows celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
From music to dance, theatre, and spoken word, there’s several shows to see at the Dr. Phillips Center through it’s Lifting Voices program.
I put together a list of all the shows celebrating Hispanic artists not only this month, but through the end of the year.
🎨 Speaking of Hispanic Heritage Month, there’s a new mural at Disney Springs
Artist Nicole Salgar recently shared her mural called “Viajes despierto,” which means “awaken journey.” She explained to students with the Osceola County School of the Arts that the painting is more than just about colors, it’s about taking a moment to disconnect yourself from your busy life.
Salgar is from Cuba and Colombia. See how those two cultures strongly influenced her career in News 6 Reporter Ezzy Castro’s story.
🎙 Last Chance to Catch Jersey Boys
This weekend is your last chance to see the smash-hit musical, “Jersey Boys” at Osceola Arts. The musical tells the story of how four kids from New Jersey formed The Four Seasons, their success in the 1960s, and what caused them to break up. Click here for all the info.
