The company includes Lucia Brawley, Joe Minoso, Gary Perez, Adriana Sevan, Felix Solis and Sona Tatoyan. "'A man must sin. It’s in our blood,' says Flora’s fiancé, Manuelo. But she will have none of it. Nor is she interested in her mother’s idea that a witch’s spell can make him faithful, or her father’s proposal to have Manuelo killed. Instead, handsome Eusebio sweeps her off her feet and takes her from Puerto Rico to America on a journey of sacrifice and enduring love," state press notes for Boleros.

The Yale Rep staging features original music by Gustavo Leone, with a creative team including Linda Buchanan (scenic design), Yuri Cataldo (costume design), Joseph Appelt (lighting design) and Veronika Vorel (sound design).
