The most talked-about show of the season is sure to be this world premiere, written and directed by Tony® Award-nominee Moisés Kaufman (The Laramie Project Cycle), with music from two-time Grammy Award-winner Arturo O’Farrill, and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Broadway’s Jersey Boys and Memphis). Olney’s star-studded team turns Bizet’s passion-fueled opera into a sexy, swinging AfroCuban Jazz musical, moving the action from 1820s Spain to Cuba in 1958, on the verge of revolution. Kaufman’s Carmen is a gun-runner for the rebels, who falls fiercely in love with José, a Batista loyalist. When Cuba’s boxing legend Camilo returns to Havana, Carmen and José’s love falls tragically apart.
