Frida Kahlo is everywhere. Her signature flower crown, bold unibrow, and brightly colored dress have become cultural shorthand for third wave feminism. Her life, at times turbulent and painful, has been depicted dramatically in movies and on television.
This extraordinary artist was not just an icon, she was human. A Broadway musical about her life, currently in development, aims to show a different side of the Mexican artist. The show is based on the book Intimate Frida, written by her niece Isolda P. Kahlo, as well as personal conversations with her family in Mexico.
Composer Jaime Lozano seeks to highlight the Frida not everyone knew behind the now-legendary icon, and honor their shared Mexican heritage on the Broadway stage.
