Choose options
Heitor Villa-Lobos, Robert Wright, and George Forrest’s 'Magdalena' completed its celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Ziegfeld Theatre in 1948, running for an accomplished 84 performances under the banner of producer Homer Curran. Conceived as an exceptionally unique, grand-scale musical spectacular driven note-for-note by a thundering, lushly orchestrated symphonic classical score, the cross-cultural romantic narrative book unfolds inside a provincial mining village in Colombia, starring vocal giant John Raitt.
