New interactive bilingual family musical Súper Chefs to tour UK venues

New bilingual family musical Súper Chefs has announced a tour of UK venues.

Helmed by an all Latin American/Global Majority team, the interactive show from MAYA Productions runs at Theatre Peckham, Southwark (11 – 14 June), Sheffield’s Migration Matters Festival (17 June) and Croydon’s Stanley Arts Centre (18 June).

The musical is written by Betsy Picart with music by Ariel Cubría, directed by MAYA Productions’ Artistic Director Suzanne Gorman and produced by María Cuervo,

Providing the rare opportunity for Latin American children (ages 4-8) and their families to see themselves profiled on a UK stage, Súper Chefs invites audiences to sing, dance, and cook with a Latin American family in London as they celebrate food and question gender roles. S

6-year-old Manny is making his very first guacamole for his dad’s welcome home dinner in London. It’s a good thing his Colombian mum Valeria is a professional chef and knows a song to help with the recipe.

Manny’s Mexican grandma is preparing the dessert, but Abuela Alma doesn’t like boys in the kitchen – after all, it wasn’t like that before. But Manny feels differently. Why can’t he become a chef? Or a superhero like Mighty Mujer? Or both?

Betsy Picart said: “Súper Chefs uses lively original Latino music and fun interactive activities to explore the challenges Latino families experience when they immigrate to a new country, while highlighting the power food has to bring people together, no matter where we are in the globe.”
