Sixto llega a Nueva York en marzo de 2020 para atender asuntos familiares. El último miembro de una familia puertorriqueña ha fallecido. Su única referencia sobre los puertorriqueños en Nueva York es la película West Side Story. Por eso, Sixto tiene una opinión preconcebida sobre ellos. Lo que él no sabe es que este apartamento fue la Embajada puertorriqueña no oficial durante los años 20. Está a punto de descubrir historias increíbles. Una vez cruce esa puerta, su vida cambiará para siempre. Y la tuya también.

The Other Side Story entretiene, transforma, educa e inspira tanto a las nuevas como a las viejas generaciones de puertorriqueños, tanto dentro como fuera de la isla. El show ha sido presentado exitosamente en Nueva York, Puerto Rico y Chicago, recibiendo excelentes críticas.

The Other Side Story fue la selección oficial del New York Theatre Festival en octubre de 2022. Fue seleccionado para celebrar el 50 aniversario del Centro Cultural de Chicago en 2023 y fue la selección oficial del Festival de Teatro Puertorriqueño y El Junte Boricua en 2024.

The Other Side Story es un espectáculo unipersonal escrito e interpretado por Ángel Vázquez, acompañado por una orquesta de músicos puertorriqueños. El show se presenta en español con subtítulos en inglés.

Ángel Vázquez es un reconocido actor, comediante, director, cantante, dramaturgo y compositor puertorriqueño con más de 30 años de experiencia.

Sixto arrives in New York City in March 2020 to take care of family business. The last member of a Puerto Rican family has passed on. His only reference about Puerto Ricans in New York is the West Side Story. Therefore, Sixto has a preconceived opinion of them. What he does not know is that this apartment was the unofficial Puerto Rican Embassy during the 1920’s. He is about to discover some amazing stories. Once he enters that door, his life will be forever changed. And yours will too.
