It's Ana Navarro's time to shine! As BroadwayWorld previously reported, The View co-host will be making her Broadway debut in Buena Vista Social Club in a walk-on role this spring. Now, it has been confirmed that she will join the company for a one-night-only appearance on March 6.
Last month, Navarro received a birthday surprise when cast members Renesito Avich and David Oquendo stopped by The View to serenade her with a rendition of the birthday song in honor of her special day. It was during this visit that the duo invited her to make her Broadway debut in the show, of which she is a fan.
