Applause - Luca Mundaca, Musician February 28, 2008
Applause
 
 
 
It's one of the most anticipated shows of the season! The Color Purple, based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, takes the stage as a rousing gospel, blues and jazz musical, with lyrics by another Pulitzer Prize-winner, Marsha Norman. The show tells the unforgettable story of a woman who triumphs over adversity to find love. Coming up next month, The Color Purple comes to the Palace Theatre in Playhouse Square. Not long ago, Alice Walker and Marsha Norman paid a visit to the Idea Center as part of our ongoing Master Moments series for a conversation about this uplifting story.

The music of Chilean native Luca Mundaca is a beautiful take on the classic sounds of Bossa Nova. Luca came of age in Brazil, steeped in its rhythms and melodies, and it's through a not so simple twist of fate that she now calls Cleveland her second home... thanks to a little Ohio hospitality. Luca Mundaca joins us in the Westfield Insurance Studio Theatre at the Idea Center at Playhouse Square.
