American Mariachi
Mariachi, as we learn early on, is centered on love, family, and tradition. So too is the exuberant world premiere at the Globe. It's the mid-1970s, and though feminism is going mainstream in America, it's still unseemly for women to play mariachi. Butwhen the aptly-named Lucha ("fight!") discovers that mariachi music brings rare moments of lucidity to her dementia-suffering mother, she and a group of plucky women endeavor against the odds, and the men in their lives, to form an all-female mariachi band.Mariachiboasts a strong cast, along with lovely and evocative scenic and lighting elements. An excess of sentimentality is easily outweighed by rich storytelling, crackling bilingual humor, and rousing live music, leaving audiences with an appreciation for this vibrant cultural tradition.Critic's Pick.
