In a theater industry traditionally dominated by white men, it’s rare to find a musical with an all-female creative team behind it. Finding a bilingual musical where the characters speak Spanglish is even more unusual. “Azul, The Musical” is both of those things. “Azul” follows the journey of a woman named Bluebird, who leaves her homeland to travel to a new world. There, she gives birth to her daughter named Rita, who becomes a composer.
