This is very old and I was wondering why it never hit Broadway like it wanted to. Selena is one of my favorite singers and I wish I would have had a chance to see this musical when it was around. They said that "Celia" was the first Broadway bio-musical about a Latina/o. Just a little fun fact, I guess. Maybe if they had cast some Broadway pros would it have worked? There was a thread on this last year and it kinda didn't answer my question.

Celia was never on Broadway and "casted" is not a word.

Whoops. I meant cast. So "CELIA" was Off-Broadway? It makes more sense.

This was the tour schedule:

I'm pretty sure the tour folded pretty soon after it started so it wasn't very successful. I remember reading an article about that show a couple of years back that mentioned that it had been produced in Mexico City and it was doing very well there. This had a very large cast so it would have to reduce the size in order to do an off-Broadway run. Not sure there's enough of a fan base of hers in order to keep a Broadway show running for very long.

Whoa. That's Veronica in those pictures! She was in the early workshops of Heights, and she's married to Chris Jackson, who plays Benny. She looks awesome!
