Bad Hombres/Good Wives on BroadwayWorld San Antonio
The Texas premiere of Bad Hombres/Good Wives by Herbert Siguenza is an amazing night of entertainment you are not going to want to miss. Siguenza's story features Cartel rivalries, love, and a lot of comedy. There is a special nod to the Bard himself, Guillermo Shakespeare with an amazing Hamlet monologue en español. Teatro Audaz is dedicated to exploring the varied experiences, cultures, and languages of Latinx people through producing and showcasing the creative talents of Latinx artists. through theatrical experiences in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Bad Hombres/Good Wives is a great piece of art that fits right in with the mission of Teatro Audaz. Directed by Juan Carlos Calderon the cast shined with well-timed comedy, just enough melodrama, and a little bit of intimacy. The story unfolds with Don Ernesto sharing that he is going to get married. He, as a benefactor to a young woman, sent her to a group of nuns to be trained to be his wife (how romantic). Eric Alvarado was a fantastic Don Ernesto. He connected with the audience in a way that allowed us to love and hate him. In the end, we were all rooting for him. Alvarado brought charm, humor, and his best machismo strut to the stage.
