The Case of the Capeman: Appropriation of the "Authentic"
Ramirez, Jason
Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, v30 n1 p179 Spr 2005
"The Capeman" Paul Simon's first and only Broadway musical that embodies a peculiar authenticity unique in the history of Latino-themed musicals that stem from its reception by Latino audiences during its limited run is described. Capeman's music, dialogue and narrative gave authenticity for Latino audiences starved for representations of their culture in commercial theater.
