Frida’s Mole Recipe

Book and Lyrics by Adair Seldon
Music by Keiko Takeda

Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are passionate artists, idealistic Communists and eternal soulmates. But Kahlo’s physical suffering from a streetcar accident and Rivera’s constant philandering create a canvas of high drama, fueling their tumultuous marriage and brilliant careers.

Set against the vivid backdrop of post-revolutionary Mexico, as well as vibrant scenes in New York, Detroit and Paris, Frida & Diego is filled with fascinating characters that include Henry Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, Leon Trotsky, Pablo Picasso and other big-name contemporaries of the day.

Combining elements of magic realism, ribald humor and deep, emotional poignancy, the show delves into the multi-hued escapades of this colorful couple -- their love and obsession with each other, their work, their politics and their shocking extramarital exploits.

Frida & Diego has 20 unforgettable songs, from lively Latin rhythms to haunting Broadway ballads.
