Large format musical version of Jerry Herman and Harvey FiersteinIt premiered on Broadway in 1983. “It’s like a massage for the soul.”
It seems strange that in the 21st century there is still a musical that reflects freedom and reflects not only sexuality, but also the individual and the collective.
The truth is, I’m not doing this to claim anything, I’m doing it to have a good time. Loving is an ode to loving yourself and loving others. I believe everyone has the freedom to be who they want to be. The problem is with those who don’t let you be free. I have not claimed anything in my life, I have followed my path and who wants to share well, who does not want, nothing. This job is a party, it’s hilarious, it’s a classic. With live musicians, choir songs, choreographies… The message is there. But I’m doing this to tell you that I love my profession, that I love to do theatre. In fact, the message that everyone reads what they want or can do.
cage of the crazy Does it encourage swimming against the current against the rules?
It’s not against anything, it goes in favor of how someone is. The concept of fighting does not exist in the game at all. It’s always fun. No character has negative thoughts, everything is positive. Two and a half hours with nothing wrong. There is only laughter, love, good humor, compassion… It’s like a massage to the soul. That’s why we’ve been so successful, people are happy to see it, no one is offended.
Song i am what i am Do people still know him?
Yes, I think she still knows him. The song comes to the end of the first act and I go out and sing in dead silence. People come from laughing for an hour and shut up. That’s when he gets emotional and cries.
“I didn’t claim anything in my life, I followed my path and who wants to share well, who doesn’t, well nothing”
you run the musicals Singing in the Rain, Little Horror Shop Y cage of the crazy. But only in the latter the scene also appears as the main character. What prompted you to take this step?
cage of the crazy The first one came, it started in 2018, but the last will end. I only do that in this one because I can’t do that much anymore. I’m also not old enough to dance to climb streetlights. I work a lot with many people in a team. We all create and in the end you don’t know whose idea it was. In fact, they do not belong to anyone, they belong to everyone. I had a son who used to play my part to direct myself, and I directed him. Then I repeated what I told him. And I’m not stopping with this musical right now. I go everywhere and it gives so much happiness. And on Tuesdays I return to Barcelona, because I am preparing a play that I will direct at the National Theater of Catalonia, and also a production. Little Prince.
Why do musicals reach such masses, what is their magic?
Music is powerful, it goes into you in a way you don’t know. When you realize that you are singing the melody. Music has a much greater power than words, and whether you want to combine two things or not, it enters your soul and you let go. Much more fascinating. And for all ages. The old and the young love it too, even the children come and love it because my character is so bright and so spontaneous. There are also those who are surprised. Often women force and admire their husbands.
Describe how the public left after seeing this musical
They leave happy. And now with social networks that write something to you, what they say to me the most is thank you very much. People appreciate it and I love it. .
Putting the musical together is a long process. How long does it take from the selection of the piece to the stage?
It may take a year or a year and a half. What worries me the most is casting because it is very important. In addition to being good actors and artists, they need to be good people. in order to do casting I have to do like at the wedding tables: Let’s see who gets it. But I love all processes. First you discover, you don’t understand many things. I let myself go, I will never know what will happen and so I let myself be surprised.
“What I love is to convey to people who see me well and smile”
And the tandem you formed with Manu Guix, with whom you directed these musicals?
Yes the truth is that we have been working together since 1997, we respect each other very much and we love each other very much. He goes where I don’t go, I go where he doesn’t go. We are complementary and we never argue. In the end, we always agree.
your face looks familiar to me It has become a phenomenon and a complete experience. Do you have a schedule for a while?
We have just started filming the tenth season. And yes, there has been a program for a while because there is so much talent. They do it super well and it’s also a fun show. What I love is to pass it on to people who see me well and laugh.
What is left in the memory of the years victory operation?
Bad nothing. Working is never bad. What I always remember is laughter and everything pink. A fun period is coming in my life and it is very challenging because as a teacher I had to teach by keeping up with the rhythm of television. It was a great learning.
