Nine stars Rivera, Banderas and Saundra Santiago along with The Rocky Horror Show castmates Esparza and Rubin-Vega will perform with Perez (Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune), Def Poetry Jam's Mayda Del Valle and Lemon, Natalie Toro (Les Misérables) and Olga Merediz (Man of La Mancha). Amaro — conceiver and choreographer — co-directs the show with Ariadne Villarreal. Grammy Award-winning Ray Santos provides musical arrangements supported by The Jose Bellos Orchestra. The event will be modeled after a night at the historic Palladium during its heyday with live performances followed by an evening of dancing.
