Play-musical based on the book by Pam Munoz Ryan about a young Mexican girl, Esperanza, who immigrates for a better life to the US during the Great depression.
It was a little bit too grown up for a 6 year old as it tackled death, race discrimination and labor issues (picket lines were hard to explain)
However, all together it wasn't that bad: colorful production with nice costumes and decorations, beautiful songs by "mariachi band" and a relatively simple story to follow. Strange mixture of English and Spanish -- sort of Spanglish though was a turn off.
