Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater’s original musical play will run Off-Broadway and for the first time at Miriam Colón’s historic Puerto Rican Traveling Theater on west 47th street, Manhattan, on December 1-23. Aloha Boricua dramatizes the one-way transoceanic trip to the Hawaiian archipelago made by poor sugarcane workers and families whose lives were upended by the U.S. military invasion of Puerto Rico and the devastation of Category 4 San Ciriaco Hurricane in 1898-99. Premiered in 2009 under the direction of Jorge B. Merced and composer Desmar Guevara, the show lifts the voices and weaves the stories of five characters in search of home and opportunity, and pays tribute to the myths and truths of the Hawaiian people who welcomed them at the end of their journey.
