Platanos and Collard Greens


Now at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in the Carnival Studio Theater, come see this country-wide Off-Broadway hit!

"A modern day West Side Story!" raved The New York Times.

Spicy, sweet and delicious, Platanos and Collard Greens is the long-running off-Broadway hip-hop romantic comedy that asks if love between Blacks and Latinos can survive.

College kids Freeman and Angelita give it a try—until her Mom finds out and has a heart attack. It's a star-crossed love affair guaranteed to make you think while laughing out loud!

The Courier Times, the New York metropolitan area's leading African-American newspaper, called it "stimulating, breathtaking, a mind-blowing must-see!" La Diva Latina Magazine said "Bring your appetite for laughter when you go to see this novela set on stage!"

Platanos and Collard Greens has enchanted audiences of over 150,000 both Off Broadway in New York City and around the country.

"It's a play that everyone can relate to!" said the New York Amsterdam News. Don't miss out!

Performances will be running from February 17th thru 28th with weekday shows at 7:30PM and two performances on weekends at both 2:00PM and 7:30PM. Tickets vary from $15-$35. Please visit the Adrienne Arsht Center site for more information or click here to be linked directly to page.
