  • Summary

  • The real orphan Annie is alive, but she sings "mañana, mañana." Lillian Colón began her career with the Radio City Rockettes at 32. In this episode of The Revolución, Colón shares how she joined the world’s most famous precision dance company. She also talks about her early years in an orphanage after her father left her there, as well as how her passion and spiritual fortitude has led to great heights – including Lin Manuel Miranda's "In The Heights" movie.

    Colón is no withering flower; her rise from the ashes is a phoenix story. Lillian currently teaches at the Broadway Dance Center. works on her solo show at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre and dreams of becoming Disney's next princess – “The Puerto Rican Princess,” that is.
