Encanto: The Broadway Musical

Encanto: The Broadway Musical is an upcoming musical stage show, based on the 2021 Disney movie of the same name. It is produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and acts as a live re-telling of the events of the movie. It is set to premiere at the Lyric Theatre in New York City.

Synopsis
The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charmed place called the Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift - every child except Mirabel. However, she soon may be the Madrigal's last hope when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is now in danger.

Act 1
The show starts with a young Mirabel being shown a special magic candle by her grandmother, Alma. Alma tells her the story the story of how she lost her beloved, Pedro, and after his death, the candle created a miracle, as well as a sentient house named Casita, for the family to live within an encanto, a magical realm bordered by high mountains. The candle also gives special powers called "gifts" to the children of the family, and now it's time for Mirabel to get her gift. Mirabel asks what her gift will be, and Abuela tells her that it is sure to be as special as she is ("Open Your Eyes").

10 years later, Mirabel is now 15-years old, and some local kids start pestering her with questions about the family. She tells them all about her family and their powers. Pepa can control the weather (and is married to Félix), Julieta can heal people with her food (and is married to Agustín), Dolores has super hearing, Camilo can shapeshift, Isabela can make flowers grow, Luisa is super strong, and Bruno (who went missing on the day of her gift ceremony) can see into the future ("The Family Madrigal"). As the kids ask Mirabel what her gift is, it's revealed that she didn't get one.

The Madrigals gather together to prepare for the next gift ceremony for Antonio, Pepa and Félix's youngest son. Mirabel attempts to help out by setting decorations, but is shut down by Abuela, who tells her it would be better for her to step aside (A Perfect Night). Antonio is nervous, worried that he may not get his own gift like Mirabel, but Mirabel gives him the courage to go through with the ceremony.

On the night of the ceremony, the village gathers, excited yet nervous about what will happen (Colombia, Mi Encanto). As the ceremony begins, Antonio, still nervous, walks towards his door with Mirabel holding his hand, and he gets his own Gift: the ability to talk with animals. As his room is formed, everyone is celebrated, and the Madrigals take a photo together, accidentally forgetting Mirabel. This leads Mirabel to sing about her true feelings about not receiving a gift (Waiting on a Miracle).

That night, Mirabel suddenly sees cracks forming around the house, the doors losing their lights, and the candle flickering, but when she tries to show everyone, everything is back to normal, leading the family to doubt her. Julieta convinces Mirabel to get some sleep, but being too far anxious, she goes to check on the candle, only to learn that Abuela does indeed believe her, as she prays to her lost Pedro to save their miracle. Mirabel decides she will be the one to save the magic (Save Our Miracle).

The next day, she asks Dolores if she knows anything about the magic fading, and she informs her that she heard Luisa's eye twitching all night, leading Mirabel to question Luisa. Luisa eventually confesses that she feels overburdened by the family, due to her having to carry so much (Surface Pressure). She also reveals that last night she felt weak, and then suggests that Mirabel go to Bruno's old room, recalling that he once had a vision about the family's magic.
