Last Thursday, Frida Kahlo’s family and the Frida Kahlo estate announced that they would create a Broadway Musical, “Frida, The Musical,” that illustrates what has happened in the life of the famous Mexican Painter, Frida Kahlo. The life story of this interesting artist continues to fascinate us, even after she died 68 years ago.
According to The Washington Post, “The show will include music by Jaime Lozano and lyrics by playwright Neena Beber, and it will be produced by Valentina Berger.”
There are already so many different types of Kahlo merchandise that is hard to imagine that people are still making even more things that exemplify Kaho’s life. There are cups, pillows, books, T-shirts, bags, pencil pouches, trinkets, and even Barbie dolls that were made that have Kahlo’s face on it, or patterns that are inspired by her art.
The musical is expected be released on Broadway in 2024. It will be about Kahlo’s entire life – from when she was born to when she died in 1954. She passed in the same place where she was born. This house is known as the “Blue House.”
Kahlo’s life has been filled with so many tragedies. She was diagnosed with polio, a life-threatening disease that can cause paralysis, when she was 6-years-old. At the age of 18, Kahlo was severely injured in a life-changing bus accident. Despite being so wounded, she still decided to continue painting while she was laying in her hospital bed. The paintings that she made during that time period were mostly about the pain that was experiencing.
But this tragic part of her life that most people perceive is only one side of her life. The producers of the musical are hoping to show how much fun Kahlo really had with her life amid the suffering she has experienced. According to The Washington Post, Neena Beber, the playwright, said, “I really connected to her humor. I don’t think I knew how funny she was – that she had this wry, dry sense of humor. She really was of the people.”
