MAMBO ITALIANO
This sensational comedy has toured all over, been turned into a feature film and rumour has it will be a musical on Broadway. But now it’s here in Vancouver: Mambo Italiano, a coming out story set amongst a traditional Italian immigrant family in Montreal. Joe Gallaccio plays the lead, Angelo, and he’ll tell us how the show has evolved since it first came out (no pun intended) in Montreal just after 9/11.
Listen in today at 5PM.
