News
“Standouts include Gloria Vivica Benavides, who brings sophisticated senses of timing and subtle gesture to Caliban.”
“…a scene-stealing Gloria Vivica Benavides…”
“…all wonderful, especially Benavides who steals every scene she's in as a sexy-and-I-know-it hairdresser…”
“The latter, Gloria Vivica Benavides, is hilarious in that role and as Antonia, a well-meaning neighbor who ignites Reina's dreams of escaping to America.”
“…every time Gloria Benavides opens her mouth to sing, this massive rafter-shaking roar comes forth that leaves the audience breathless.”
“Benavides is a breakout star of the show, even playing the comic relief. She portrays two characters who are polar opposites from one another, but you'll want more of both.”
