New York has West Side Story. L.A. has Grease. Miami has Celia: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz. Point: Miami. No disrespect to Leonard Bernstein — an American legend — but 200,000 people didn’t attend his funeral. Celia wasn’t just the “Queen of Salsa”; she represented an entire idea of her country in absentia, so it’s only right that her music lives on in this adaptation of her work.
