Broadway Sin Vergüenza: Telenovela Nights at 54 Below

Broadway Sin Vergüenza: Telenovela Nights comes to 54 Below with two original, telenovela-inspired musical works—Champagne Tears and Querida. Created and written by Vanessa Verduga (Off-Broadway’s Implications of Cohabitation at Theatre Row), the evening blends heightened melodrama, sharp comedy, and beloved musical theater repertoire into fast-paced stories of love, betrayal, and family secrets. The concert features Broadway’s Danny Bolero (In The Heights, Plaza Suite) alongside a dynamic bilingual ensemble with live piano, and Verduga as the evening’s narrator. Together, they reimagine the thrill of back-to-back telenovelas through the lens of Broadway storytelling. Expect powerhouse vocals, theatrical flair, and a culturally vibrant musical event that expands who feels represented on a New York stage. Broadway Sin Vergüenza is the original works performance series of Broadway Sin Barreras, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to cultivating bilingual musical theater in New York City. Through workshops, cabaret presentations, and annual concert events, the organization develops new works while building recurring performance opportunities for Latiné artists and expanding audience access to musical theater.
