Being a dead musician (especially a Latino musician) means a posthumous musical. La guarachera Celia Cruz is no different. An off-Broadway show creatively titled “Celia” is set to open September 12 in NYC at the New World Stages. The premise is that Pedro Knight, Celia’s widower, is remembering his beloved from his hospital bed. The musical , with about 30 musical numbers, according to the director, is trying to show the woman Celia Cruz not just the legend. It is being said that Pedro had a hand in the creation of the show before his own death.
