This episode features a conversation with Linedy Genao (Bad Cinderella), Taylor Iman Jones (Head Over Heels), Fran Tapia (On Your Feet), and Maiga Vidal about Maiga’s new musical: Café Con Leche.
With book, music, and lyrics by Maiga Vidal, Café Con Leche is an original romantic comedy set in Los Angeles with an all-Latinx cast. The new musical follows Alejandra, an accountant who longs to be the perfect immigrant daughter for her parents, even if it means staying in the closet forever. When a rent hike threatens to close her parent’s American-style donut shop for good, Alejandra, with the help of mysterious new customer Megan, opens Café Con Leche, a Latino-themed coffee spot, to moonlight after-hours at the store to make extra money. As her feelings for Café Con Leche and Megan grow, Alejandra begins to question just how much she’s willing to hide to keep her parent’s love.
This episode features the song “California Cappuccino Donut Coffee” performed by Fran Tapia and Rubén Flores.
