With a new cast and revised staging, Santa Cruz composer Joe Ortiz's musical memoir Escaping Queens returns after its sell-out world premiere at Cabrillo Stage in 2012. In the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge lies the heart-rending and comic story of an immigrant family. Through the eyes of a young boy, we meet a zany cast of jubilant characters-a gambling Puerto Rican father, a nurturing Italian mother, a love-crazed teenager, a lurking neighborhood bookie and Doo Wop kids singing on the street corner-who weave the tale of a desperate escape from New York.
Contains adult language.
Tickets may also be purchased at the VAPA Box Office located in the Crocker Theater beginning June 18th (Tuesday - Friday from 12-6PM and Saturdays from 12-4PM). Season and multi-show passes are also available.
