The musical follows 17-year-old Sofia as she pursues her dream to become a superstar.
Inspired by her musical heroes and with the help of her family, Sofia discovers that even the longest journey begins with a single step. As she mixes the music from her roots with the music in her heart, Sofia dreams of bringing together a community that has never felt more divided.
La Bamba combines Latin, R&B, rock and pop to tell the ultimate feelgood story of a young girl with a big voice, big dreams, and an even bigger heart.
Tickets are on sale now.
