Billy Dee Williams, Esai Morales, Latin Grammy-winner Albita and Justina Machado will star in “The Mambo Kings,” a new Broadway musical about two Cuban brothers and their journey from 1950s Havana to the posh nightclubs of Manhattan.
The musical opens Aug. 18 at the Broadway Theatre. Preview performances begin July 20. “The Mambo Kings” will play an out-of-town engagement at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theatre, May 24-June 19.
