Benny Ibarra, Erik Rubin, Diego Schoening, Alix Bauer and Mariana Garza have already passed half a century and seeing them representing young students can have a counterproductive effect. in an audience that already knows the story. However, the admiration of their fans for seeing them sing and dance could bring the work afloat.
The original cast of Vaselina includes Andrea Legarreta, Angelica Vale, Maria Leon, Kalimba and Yahir, characters who are also far from being 20-year-olds, but whose presence could contribute positively to the project.
The musical that marked an entire generation in the 80s is scheduled to premiere on July 13 in Mexico City and the time it lasts on stage will be determined by the audience’s response.
It is worth mentioning that it is also scheduled to take the work to the main cities of Mexico with the aim of better monetizing the project.
