Basura: A New Musical at the Alliance Theatre!
Music & Lyrics: Grammy Award winner Gloria Estefan and her daughter, Emily Estefan
May 30 - July 12, 2026

Basura, A POWERFUL AND BOLD NEW MUSICAL INSPIRED BY THE TRUE STORY OF PARAGUAY’S RECYCLED ORCHESTRA, where young artists turn scrap material into instruments and music into possibilities. This world premiere musical continues Estefan’s global legacy — proving that music can rise from anywhere and change everything.

Based on the award-winning documentary film “LANDFILL HARMONIC,” the new musical carries the sound of Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra farther than anyone could have ever imagined. Basura is AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY OF RHYTHM, RESILIENCE, AND HOPE — a radiant, heart-swelling reminder that even in the most unlikely places, you can build something beautiful.
