Get ready to experience a potent mix of storytelling and song this coming August, as HAMILTON: AN AMERICAN MUSICAL star Miguel Cervantes and his wife Kelly Cervantes come to Garland to host "An Afternoon with Kelly and Miguel Cervantes." This unique event, part of the Garland Summer Musicals, will be held at the Plaza Theatre on Sunday, August 25, with showtime slated for 2:30 p.m., as per the City of Garland.
The afternoon promises an intimate setting where the duo will delve into their hardships and triumphs. Known for his role as the $10-dollar Founding Father, Miguel will serenade attendees with melodies from his over 2,000 performances in Chicago and on Broadway while weaving in powerful tales from his and Kelly's life. Kelly, a USA Today bestselling author, will recount her journey of grief and growth following the passing of their daughter, transitioning from a caregiver to navigating an unwelcome retirement from what she describes as the most fulfilling job she'll ever know.
The Cervantes duo is set to pull at heartstrings while encouraging the audience to sing along to their favorite Hamilton hits. Between the songs and stories, the shared emotion, and the laughter, they aim to discuss how joy and grief can coexist. With raw honesty, they'll also explore how they faced their differing grief experiences and discuss the legacy that they're working to leave for their children.
