An fun and exciting documentary musical about post revolutionary Cuba!
New Jeans', written, choreographed and directed by David Alonzo Jones, is as much a journey into avante garde musical theater as it is a stylish documentary on post revolutionary Cuba. It's theme song "Viva Cuba", is the hallmark refrain of the enduring spirit of the Cuban people. Songs "I'll Swim If I Have To" and "American Tourists" ring with the heartfelt frustration with Cuba's isolation and desperate need for commerce. Based on fact, 'New Jeans' is a provocative blend of culture and expression presented in dance (African, Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Hip Hop, Salsa) to original songs. 'New Jeans' is a captivating story told with hot Latin rhythms and an exuberant song and dance ensemble.
