Step back into the golden era of Latin music with The Three Kings and Their Queens, a theatrical musical concert that transports audiences to the legendary Palladium, the “Home of the Mambo.” The show takes you back to New York City in the 1950s to the city’s most iconic nightclub, where people from all economic and social backgrounds—working class, middle class, and high society—gathered to dance the night away.In an era when divisions in society were prevalent, the Palladium offered unity on the dance floor. It was one of the few places where differences in race and class were set aside in the name of music and dance. Hollywood stars, gangsters, judges, and everyday New Yorkers all shared the same floor. The only rule? "Can you dance?"
With invaluable guidance from Latin music historian and musicologist Joe Conzo Sr., this production honors the icons who helped shape Latin music history: Machito and Graciela, Tito Puente, Tito Rodríguez, Celia Cruz, and La Lupe. Their groundbreaking artistry created a soundtrack for a generation and beyond.
Featuring a live big band orchestra and powerhouse vocalists, this electrifying evening celebrates the rhythms, voices, and revolutionary spirit of Latin music royalty. Hosted and narrated by the dynamic poet and performer Caridad De La Luz, "La Bruja," this concert is more than a show, it’s a tribute to the cultural force that brought people together on the dance floor, regardless of who they were.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this unforgettable celebration. Long live the Three Kings and their Queens.
