Something to Crow About
by NilsSomthing to Crow About, a modern zarzuela will be showing in New York City at the La Mama Annex Theatre June 21st-24th.
This musical is about a “sabungero” (cockfight enthusiast) who was so enamoured with his cocks that he neglected his wife and his duties as a father and as family provider. The town’s local priest exhorts him to change his habits-but to no avail.
The story is based on the short story “My Brother’s Kiko’s Peculiar Chicken” by Dr. Alexander R Roces. Music was composed by Ferdie Dimatura and orchestratted by Nonoy Diestro. Choreography is by Joji Felix-Velarde and Enrico Labayen.

Aryty is a sponsor of the show in association with the Philippine Consulate General of New York. We thought it was a great way to show appreciation of Philippine culture and promote pride of Filipino heritage during a period when the Philippines celebrates their independence.
If you live in the greater New York area make sure to check out Something to Crow About at the La Mama Annex Theatre located on 74a East 4th Street. You can buy tickets online here or by calling the box office at (212) 475-7710.
