Los Monólogos de la Vagina, a Spanish version of Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues, begins performances on May 6 at the Westside Theatre, the show's original off-Broadway home. Opening night is set for May 18. The production is directed by Jaime Matarredona.
Based on interviews with a diverse group of women—from a Long Island antique dealer to a Bosnian refugee—The Vagina Monologues brazenly explores the humor, power, pain, wisdom, outrage, mystery and excitement hidden in vaginas. The original production played over 1300 performances from 1999 to 2003 at the Westside Theatre. Los Monólogos de la Vagina will be modeled after the current Mexico City production, now in its 14th year.
Kate del Castillo and Angélica Vale will appear in the show May 6 through June 1. They will be joined May 6 through May 11 by Miriam Colón. From May 14, Vale's mother, Angélica María, will board the production. Further casting will be announced at a later date.
