About the Show
Six children—three boys and three girls—are sent from Havana to the USA during the first year of Castro’s regime, living among strangers. Will they ever reunite with their parents or return to their homeland? This fictional portrayal in “Castro’s Children” reflects the true stories of 14,048 children relocated from Cuba under “Operation Pedro Pan,” a collaboration between the CIA and the Catholic Church. Set in Cuba and America during the 1960s and 1980s, this universal tale, presented by Music Theatre Melbourne, explores the impact of displacement on young lives due to adult conflicts. The premiere features a score by Simon Stone and a book by Peter Fitzpatrick, with a talented adult and child cast. Note: the musical contains adult themes and mild coarse language.
