People behind the production

Step into the pulse of 1950s Havana without leaving New York City. Carmen - To Havana and Back is an immersive theater and nightlife experience created by Kaitana Magno and produced by Variety Life Productions. Hosted at Public Arts NYC (215 Chrystie St), this 360-degree venue blends live music, multi-genre dance, and vibrant salsa rhythms performed by a cast of about 27 performers. Since premiering in 2018, the show made waves in NYC with sold-out runs and an extended engagement through spring 2019, before closing for Covid in March 2020. Though public activity has centered on NYC past runs, the studio and press attention underscore its significance as one of the city’s notable immersive experiences. We can help you secure your seats for future possibilities and keep you informed about any updates.
