City of Dreams Sri Lanka and John Keells Foundation present a West End Musical, Opening on Friday!
Five members of the international cast of La Bamba! The Song of Veracruz arrived last week at Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake, ahead of the highly anticipated West End–licensed production in Colombo.
The visiting performers, Madalena Alberto, Eduardo Enríkez, Joseph Hewlett, Mychele LeBrun, and Charlotte Dos Santos Chabi, are marking their first visit to Sri Lanka and will celebrate the Sri Lankan New Year during their stay.
Following their arrival, the international artists will begin intensive rehearsals alongside the Sri Lankan cast, bringing together a dynamic blend of global and local talent. The collaborative process is expected to add depth and vibrancy to the West End–licensed musical, known for its rich storytelling, Latin rhythms, and high-energy choreography.
The production, directed and produced by London-based theatre producer Paul Morrissey, is a West End–licensed musical that brings together world-class performers, 7 live musicians, and a technical and creative crew of over 40 members. The musical has enjoyed successful runs internationally, delighting audiences across the UK, Europe, and North America with its vibrant blend of music and performances.
La Bamba! The Song of Veracruz is presented by City of Dreams Sri Lanka and John Keells Foundation. Audiences can experience this spectacular production from 24th to 27th April at The Forum, City of Dreams Sri Lanka.
