Details

Meet Paquito Alonso; flamenco dancer, comedian, transvestite artist! From his childhood in post-war Spain - wandering the Paralelo cabarets wishing to be a star - to a career in the States getting to perform at the best venues in New York and Vegas; this is the true story of Alonso. One of relentless determination, he goes on a quest to find a place in the world where he could be who he truly was in times of repression. Paquito Forever is a new musical written by Fran Arr?ez and Gerard Alonso and directed by Victor Alvaro. After rave reviews from his London debut at Crazy Coqs in 2017 with Something's Coming: a Sondheim Tribute and his acclaimed New York City debut at Feinstein's/54 Below, Joan V?zquez is thrilled to present Paquito Forever. Vazquez - accompanied on the piano by Gerard Alonso, and joined by a West End star (to be announced) - brings an evening of stand-up comedy, flamenco, blues, jazz, dancing and a tiny little bit of cross-dressing. Don't miss the chance to meet the endearing Paquito Alonso and discover this awe-inspiring true story of big dreams and courage.
