Title of the show is the name of a work that grew in the off-Broadway in 2004 Y, thanks to its great success, He reached the main boards of the mythical avenue that crosses the heart of Manhattan in 2008.

With music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell written by, This musical caught the attention of the young director Malcolm March, who adapted the work to be presented in Buenos Aires, more precisely in the Kayrós Method.

Starring Victoria Stecca, Manuela Perin, Miguel Gomez Vicari and Ivano Nardacchione, this "is the story of two guys who want to write a musical, so basically we could say it's one of those stories of theater within the theater ", according to La Vereda March says and adds: "The book is two friends who are in one of their homes and intend to make a musical, but do not know what. Finally they decide to do about their lives and how they can write the show ".

How was your first contact with the work?

I went to live three years ago to New York, where I went to a conservatory Musical Theater, which fortunately it was a very nice experience. I found a genre that did not know much and, when I graduated, I could be living a year in the United States. I worked a lot thank God, with a six works. In the meantime I began to create a company, Argentine works that brings the United States and now, the other way around.

As I was researching music I found this work that the truth was very interesting, because it's basically the story of actors and actresses theater, with the whole issue of time, the creativity, not knowing if the work is going to hit or not; to be all the time on this question 'I want to live art but I need this work paste’ because there is a constant risk. Title of the show is the life of all.

Can you compare the musical genre between the two countries?

I think that really can not be compared, at least from my point of view. I think they are two totally different realities, especially regarding the organizational part of the theater. In the US what happens is that big business can easily find work to invest more here.

In addition we are also talking to the genre of musical theater developed more strongly in the United States 1920 with much of that “American sense” of the theater, if you want. Here's what resembled the musical theater were the farces of 1940, but it could not compare because they are two totally different things.

Does the audience attending the works is also different?

Are very different, because in America there is a much wider audience. They are usually elderly, of 40 up paying entries "Full" 500 dollars for a seat in the orchestra. Here are more abundant in young adults, maximum 40 years later the family of actors. I think people of 40 up going to see more theater than musical comedy.

How was the process of choosing actors?

Four actors is an extremely difficult choice and requires a very specific character analysis. At the time of the auditions is simply see if they have the essence because, when you choose someone, you're usually hitching its essence with character. I think the casting is, easy, the 70 percent of the work.

¿Show title reflects the same work or an adaptation with things of Buenos Aires?

It is not a copy of the original, in this case because it would be totally Argentina, If I mention a John Cameron Mitchell or an O’ Neill Center, suddenly and for us it is ... ask what you eat. Instead, if I change the Cuartito, Street theaters Corrientes, Mariano Iudica, Ricardo Fort or a lot of things Argentine's like going finding more identification. The good thing is that, as it is a universal story, It can be positioned here quietly.

What Argentine works to bring along to the United States?

As for theater, who fascinates me as a playwright Mario Diament is, especially in his work Tierra del Fuego, It is covering the conflict between Israel and Palestine and I think it would be a beautiful work that could occur in the United States and, if we go to musical theater, I like Success Story, it is a work that was done last year at the Biennale of Young Art. I found it very exciting and very Argentine turn.

What are the projects for the remainder of the year?

The first is that we are seeing the possibility to renew and make another season. Our goal is to reach Corrientes street theater because it is precisely what happens in this production, the characters want to get to a theater.

As for me I will be returning to the United States because I applied for a training program consisting in witnessing a production from the first rehearsal to the premiere and in the meantime continue to develop the company.

Title will be on show until Kayrós Method 15 of July. Performances are on Saturdays starting at 20.30 in the living room 1 the enclosure located on El Salvador 4530, and Scalabrini Ortiz.

With respect to entries, They have cost 200 weights and should be available at the box office or place through Alternative Theater System.
