Cuban-American Broadway star Rául Esparza joins Brooke Shields in the musical “Leap of Faith” which began its pre-Broadway run in Los Angeles on October 1st. Both actors are striving for the musical to hit the Great White Way in a near future.

The story, written by eight-time Oscar winner Allen Menkin, is based on Steve Martin’s 1992 movie. So far, the musical is getting fabulous reviews. The Hollywood Reporter wrote that “Raúl Esparza gives a brilliantly acted and sung performance that allows the four-time Tony nominee to exhibit the full range of his considerable talent."
