Boho Theatre Presents Tony Award-Winner KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, Now Through 6/30
Boho Theatre's production of the Tony Award winning musical KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN is now playing at Theater Wit, 1229 West Belmont, through June 30.
Serving an eight-year sentence in a Latin American prison for homosexuality, Luis regularly escapes the torture and humiliation by inventing a fantasy world of movies starring the vampy diva Aurora. But his ability to escape reality is tested by his new cellmate, a Marxist revolutionary named Valentin. For despite falling in love with Valentin, Luis has been co-opted by the prison warden and the secret police to get information out of his cellmate in exchange for early parole. Can Luis' fantastical tales of Aurora and her Spider Woman character help navigate the dangerous events of the real world?
KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN won the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score when it debuted on Broadway. A harrowing tale of torture and political oppression, this musical nonetheless embraces hope and the beauty of love.
