Hispanics on
Broadway Musicals
Hundreds of musicals have made it on Broadway, but only 12 tell the story of the hispanic community. This is a catalog of Broadway musicals by, about and for the hispanic community. My goal is to shine a light on the shows that have been overlooked for years and take a deep dive on how these shows and the rooms they were in were affected by the world around them.
