However, Rosita has her sights set on a young, dashing toreador, Juan, who has recently arrived in town. When Juan and Rosita meet, they fall instantly in love, much to the dismay of Don Pasquale and José.

The musical is set against the backdrop of Mexican culture and features lively dance numbers, colorful costumes, and catchy songs.

The story touches on themes of love, family, tradition, and the clash between old and new ways of life, all wrapped up in a fun, light-hearted musical comedy.
