Mariachi musical makes its Texas debut in San Antonio

San Antonio – Puro San Antonio. That’s what you’ll feel when you see American Mariachi, a 1970s-set musical that is all about family, tradition, and mariachi.

The story centers on a woman named Lucha, who cares for her ailing mother, and creates an all-female mariachi band.

“American Mariachi” is infused with live music and classic mariachi songs that will remind you of the good ol’ days of family gatherings. The show also explores the themes of love, sexism, and what it means to devote your life to someone who is slowly deteriorating.

“American Mariachi” was written by Jose Cruz Gonzalez and had its Texas premiere in San Antonio on September 9th. It features a mostly female cast.

The stage production is playing at the Public Theater of San Antonio through October 2nd. For tickets click here.
