La Bamba! - A Brand New Dance Musical inspired by the life of Ritchie Valens will embark on a UK tour in 2023.

La Bamba! will open at Curve in Leicester on Tuesday, 1st August 2023. Further dates and casting soon to be announced, La Bamba! will then continue on a UK tour throughout the summer and autumn.

Inspired by the life and legacy of Rock ‘n’ Roll legend, Ritchie Valens, and featuring a sensational soundtrack of some of the most popular songs of the 20th century, La Bamba! smashes together musical and dance styles from contemporary R&B to Latin folk music.
