Latin Theatre is a diverse blend of many traditions. Each Latin country is different so Latin theatre productions have many different flavors. Whether it’s on Broadway, Off-Broadway or Off-Off Broadway, it’s always show time in New York City.
There are 41 Broadway theaters, but not that many Latin Broadway shows. However, Hamilton, by New York Puerto Rican playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights, Freestyle Love Supreme) is the Broadway hit of our generation.
