Vol 216 - NYMF 2008 Pt. 2

STEP INTO 'EL CLUB Voodoo,' an illegal cabaret on a side street in Havana, where impresaria Lolita presides over an unruly troupe of dancing girls, dissidents, bootleggers and drag queens. On the night Castro himself decides to take a look, farce turns to fiasco -- and the troupe has no choice but to set sail for Florida in a converted '56 Chevy. Castronauts is a spicy blend -– a witty backstage comedy and an unexpected profile in courage. Book and lyrics by Academy Award winning documentarian Bobby Houston. Bobby comes by the studio to talk a little about the show and to let us hear "Bigger than Barbie" and "Taste of Tears", two songs from the new NYMF production.
