Zoot Suit

Zoot Suit

Mark Taper Forum
135 North Grand Ave. Los Angeles

National Medal of Arts recipient Luis Valdez brings his groundbreaking 1978 smash Zoot Suit back to the Mark Taper Forum to celebrate Center Theatre Group's 50th Anniversary. The production played to packed houses in L.A. for nearly a year before becoming Broadway's first Chicano play and a major motion picture. Now, the Taper stage will once again be filled with a company of 25 mesmerizing actors, singers and dancers weaving fact and fiction together as they portray the events surrounding the infamous 1942 Sleepy Lagoon murder. Pulsing with heart, sly wit and an infectious musical score -- featuring Lalo Guerrero's famous songs -- Zoot Suit remains a thrilling theatrical experience that animates the cultural, political and human forces that continue to shape the City of Angels.
