D'où l'on vient

Maybe it could have been half an hour shorter, but it is still a very successful musical that will attract especially audiences who like catchy music full of hot Latin-American rhythms. There are plenty of energetic dance numbers packed with passion and sensuality. The plot is neither original nor surprising, but it evokes joy, life force and vigor, which fully corresponds with the subject matter. (70%) (19/04/2023)

I don't really watch musicals, but I was looking forward to this one and it's a summer sensation in full effect. Vibrant, energetic, feel-good, sexy, attractive, pompous, racy and very appealing, set in the exotic world of a Latino street in New York. I was a bit worried about the overlong running time (half an hour less wouldn't hurt), but there are enough songs, and they are catchy, melodic, and at times I felt like hitting the streets and dancing across the city! The choreography is also fine – the scene in the pool is the best. The actors are likeable, both the main character and Vanessa. Overall, a very enjoyable summer and fun piece with energy like few things. 7.5/10. (13/06/2021)
