Funny, Heartwarming and Relatable
"It was a great and inspiring story that resonates even more in these current, turbulent times. The cast was great, it was well written/directed and had wonderful performances. Although it was about a specific group of people, the family dynamics can be found in so many homes worldwide. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend the upbeat, fun, moving evening of Broadway. The only reason I did not check that it would be appropriate for children was because there were some 'adult' themes that might make some uncomfortable - depends on your mentality and the age of the children.

Amazing show
"This show was an amazing exhibit and demonstration of the immigrant experience, opening the heart and the soul to the wide range of emotions, experienced by the strong women who risk everything to come to this country to build better lives for their families. I laughed, I smiled, I cried, I felt so many emotions as these actors sing with such passion and danced and told the story of strong women standing up for what is right. If everyone watched the show, they would have a better appreciation of the true human spirit. We strongly recommend this show to everyone."

Patrick S from Pittsboro on Apr 13, 2025
This show was such a pleasure to watch.
"Yes, I wish there were more brown people, but this show did highlight a bit of diversity within Latino communities. The style, color, and motifs were perfect because this story is about the richness and complexities of our inner and outer experiences. I would love to take my pre-teen niece and was proud to see women on stage who are typically relegated to the margins in te entertainment industry."

Phenomenal
"While I’ve been to NYC before, this was my first Broadway experience. I’ve seen a lot of the world, but something was so inspiring and I was in awe seeing the production, the acting, dancing, singing, humor, the deeper issues, etc. beautiful story of Latina women and some of the daily struggles they face. As a Black woman, some of it resonated with me while other things were new to me that made me appreciate the culture juxtaposition even more! 10/10"

"I cannot for the life of me understand why this show is closing - it was absolutely fabulous! The music was infectious and the story is compelling but funny. It is especially relevant to today - incredibly moving. Please do yourself a favor and go see it, you will not be disappointed! I hope this production finds another home if Broadway isn’t working out, it deserves to be seen and enjoyed!!!"

Serious issues explored through empowered fun
"A feel good musical about immigrants who pursue the American dream while fearing every knock on their door will result in their deportation? Yes, it is. Singing, dancing, female empowerment, inter generational family drama, with a Latin beat and strong characters make for a fun time. So sometimes the humor is a bit broad and sitcom-ish, but there is real heartfelt emotion from strong cast. "
