“Coco” and talk back with Lin-Manuel and the Lopezes
Just in time for Halloween and Dia de los Muertos, the Pixar classic “Coco” comes to the United Palace on Sunday, October 16, followed by a talk back with our good friend, patron, and neighbor Lin-Manuel Miranda and Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy-winning married songwriting team behind the Oscar-winning song “Remember Me.”
The couple also wrote the songs for the Disney animated films “Frozen” and “Frozen 2,” and Marvel’s “WandaVision” (Emmy Award win for “Agatha All Along”). They wrote songs for the Obama’s series “We the People” and adapted “Frozen” for the Broadway stage. Robert co-conceived and co-wrote the hit musicals “Avenue Q” and “The Book of Mormon,” both earning him Tony Awards. Kristen’s show “In Transit” made history as the first all a cappella musical to run on Broadway, after an award-winning Off-Broadway run. Lopez and Anderson-Lopez have written for television, film and stage, including “Finding Nemo: The Musical,” songs for “The Wonder Pets” (two Emmy Award wins), and the Winnie the Pooh animated film. They are currently working on their original musical series, “Up Here,” premiering on Hulu in 2023. Lopez and Anderson-Lopez both serve on the Dramatist Guild Council. Graduates of Yale University and Williams College, respectively, they now reside in Brooklyn with their two daughters.
In “Coco” (2017), Miguel dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz, despite his family's baffling generations-old ban on music. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector and together they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.
