Tropicana: A Cuban Cabaret

August 14, 2025

Tropicana: A Cuban Cabaret will transport you to 1950s Havana, a time when Cuba was alive and thriving. With a live Cuban band and some of NYC’s finest Latine performers, this show will take you on a luscious journey back in time: showgirls, salsa, feathers, glitz and glamour. You’ll get lost in the aroma of cigars, sugar cane and the sweet sounds of Guaguancó. Music direction by Daniel Gutierrez.
