The show triumphed on Broadway at the historic Helen Hayes Theatre on W. 44th Street for a four-month run, 137 performances with an extension, a historical achievement for a Latino oriented show. With more than a 15 year history of performances, Latinologues toured the nation to sold-out houses and standing ovations.
