Juana la Iguana to Debut New Musical THE MYSTERY OF MUSICAL NOTES at Miami Children's Museum

Juana la Iguana, an entertainment and learning platform that instills educational and global values to children in Spanish and English, has announced that it was selected by the prestigious Miami Children's Museum to debut its new musical, The Mystery of Musical Notes.

The premiere will take place during Hispanic Heritage Month as an honor to Juana la lguana, who has won various awards including the People's Pick Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge and the People's Vote Hispanicize Latin Pitch.

The lovable Juana la Iguana, created over a decade ago in Venezuela, developed into a well-renowned TV personality in all Latin America. Now, the popular character is coming to Miami to inspire, educate and encourage children to build a kinder world. Subsequently to its premiere at the museum, the musical will carry on presenting at Paseo de las Artes in Doral, Florida.

The Mystery of Musical Notes, a musical based on popular children's songs, is a show written and directed with the goal of educating a bilingual audience. The show ultimately demonstrates to children the importance of music, friendship and inclusion, while teaching them about Hispanic culture.

"We are delighted that we were chosen to present this special musical at both Miami Children's Museum and Paseo de las Artes," said Tania Gilinski, Founder and CEO of Juana la Iguana. "Aside from being an entertaining show, it is also educational. Our goal with Juana la Iguana is for kids to have fun, but to learn by doing so."

The bilingual show will inaugurate at Miami Children's Museum on Saturday, September 9th with showings at 3:30p.m. and 5:00p.m. and will continue Friday, September 15th at 5:00p.m. and 7:00p.m., Saturday, September 16th at 12:00p.m. and 2:00p.m. and Sunday, September 17th at 12:00p.m. and 2:00p.m. Museum goers will have the opportunity to experience Juana la Iguana's bilingual musical with purchase of a general admissions ticket. Performances at Paseo de las Artes will run September 22 - October 15 every Saturday and Sunday at 5:00p.m.

The Juana la Iguana brand includes three apps; Juana la Iguana y los amigos de la granja, Juana la Iguana en la playa and Juana la Iguana en la escuela. One of the three apps, Juana la Iguana y los amigos de la granja, won the prestigious Parents' Choice Recommended Award and was included in Apple's Top Picks.

The concept for Juana la Iguana has always been anchored in teaching children positive values and key concepts for learning that can help children with healthy development.

"There has been a lot of emphasis on school readiness and most programs emphasize letters, numbers, shapes and we tend to forget the social emotional component, specifically empathy, being kind, developing friendships," said Nurit Sheinberg, Ed.D. Harvard University, director of Research and Evaluation at the Mailman Segal Institute for Early Childhood Studies in Florida. "Juana la Iguana does a wonderful job at helping children focus on those skills. This is what makes this program unique. The focus on those socio-emotional skills is what is going to make an individual successful in life."
