Celia Cruz coming home in musical - The Cuban legend’s story stood New York on its ear, but Miami may be a tougher audience.

Úrsula Hilaria Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso, Celia Cruz or simply Celia, who hailed from the humble Havana neighborhood of Santos Suárez, would become one of Latin music’s seminal figures, and probably the most recognized Cuban female singer.

A popular off-Broadway musical, Celia: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz, celebrates her 60-year career and, after an extended run in New York — scheduled to end in December, the show’s success kept it onstage until last month — starts its international tour Wednesday at Miami’s Arsht Center, with shows in Spanish and English.”*
