A new interactive and bilingual musical exploring Latin American culture in London!

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

Manny’s grandma is preparing the dessert, but Abuela 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?!

Join in and sing, dance, and cook with a Latin American family in London as they celebrate food, question gender roles and work together when the cooking plans are upended!
