LA BAMBA! A Vibrant New Musical Fiesta!
Just announced: Siva Kaneswaran from boy-band The Wanted has been cast as ‘Mateo' – this will be his theatrical stage debut.
La Bamba! is a jaw-dropping new musical, inspired by the life and legacy of Rock ‘n’ Roll legend, Ritchie Valens, featuring a sensational soundtrack that combines Latin, R&B, and timeless rock and pop to tell the ultimate feel-good story of a young girl with a big voice, big dreams, and an even bigger heart.
Starring in the role of Ricardo Valenzuela (Ritchie Valens) will be Strictly Come Dancing winner Pasha Kovalev in his musical theatre debut.
The show features breath-taking choreography from Strictly Come Dancing favourite and Italian-Latin champion Graziano Di Prima.
Graziano Di Prima said: “I am honoured to be choreographing this brand-new dance show – La Bamba! Audiences will get to experience a different kind of musical and some real Latin passion from our incredible cast”.
WHAT IS LA BAMBA! ABOUT?
Sofia, a 17-year-old from Los Angeles, has music in her blood. From the moment her father handed her a guitar, her dream was to become a superstar.
Inspired by her musical heroes and with the help of her family, Sofia will discover that whilst talent makes you a star, it’s fate that can make you a legend.
As she mixes the music from her roots with the music in her heart, Sofia will bring together a community that has never felt more divided.
La Bamba! is a vibrant new musical fiesta about passion and pride, and the realisation that every journey begins with a single step.
