HH Helen Hayes Recommended
BUY TICKETS

Through the stories of Rachel, told in lively Slavic melodies and haunting tango, we experience the dreams, losses, and struggles of thousands of Polish-Jewish girls ured into prostitution in Argentina by slave traders in the early 1900s. This original musical is a tribute to their spiritual strength and their impact on Buenos Aires’ society and culture. (In Spanish and English with surtitles).

About the Venue:
Set on top of the former Tivoli Theatre's balcony, the new theater house design uses the existing balcony's stepped concrete for its seating. The vibrant design echoes the vitality of the theater company and the Latino creative spirit. A curved wall for art dominates the lobby, while the concessions bar creates a focal counterpoint within the space.
