The Wrap

A Día de Muertos musical adventure is coming to the Bardavon 1869 Opera House on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Sugar Skull! is a bilingual, bicultural show for young audiences and families, built on traditional regional music, and it's appropriate for all ages. It's a midday matinee, so it works for a lunch-hour outing. Sweet idea.
