A brand new musical about growing up between cultures and raising children.
The world premiere of this fast-talking new musical comedy about the dos and don'ts of first-time parenting, mixed race backgrounds, and what makes or breaks your child’s Latinx identity. Written by actor and Hoboken native Gabriel Hernandez, the play follows 30-something Danny as he visits the local children’s playground — with his very cute baby in tow— and strikes up a jovial conversation complete with park bench philosophizing with another parent. Their discussion is sprinkled with wild asides with Danny’s superlative and musical alter egos, MC Plátano, and DJ Quenepa.
Music and lyrics by Rachel Elmer and Gabriel Diego Hernandez.
