Aventurera April 5, 2008

'Aventurera' is Mexico's longest playing and most popular musical with a list of Mexican stars that reads like a whose who of the entertainment sector. This musical is very different because there is audience participation throughout the whole evening and touches on different social issues including politics. It is set up as a cabaret and many in the audience sit in the cafe style tables on stage as part of the show. 'Aventurera' is a story based in the 1940's about a naive young woman who lives a calm life which is torn to pieces when her mother leaves with her lover, which causes the suicide of her father. Elena is single and without resources and immigrates to the City of Juarez, Northern Mexico where she accepts to work without suspecting that she will be prostituted.
