This past Sunday, Fernanda Castillo and David Chocarro said ‘see you soon’, to the Mexican musical ‘Siete Veces Adios’, after starring in a 5-week tour of different cities in Mexico, where they performed 38 Sold Out performances. We were accompanying them at the farewell, and we will tell you what the success behind the success is.
That something becomes a phenomenon does not happen every day, much less when it comes to a musical to which, at the beginning, all doors were closed.to the point that its creator decided to take a risk, sell everything he had and embark on an adventure believing that what was born from a broken heart would touch as many souls as he dreamed of.
But the dream of Alan Estrada, the writer, and 3 other colleagues and friends exceeded all expectations.. This story of broken hearts, love and heartbreak, and many stages of learning, not only was it not the failure predicted by those who supposedly know, but in a year and a half it became a sum of successes.from Sold Out that ended up turning him into a phenomenon with offers to take the bet on stage from France, Italy, to Japan, and without a doubt it should also go through Broadway.
The first to say yes to Estrada was her great friend, Fernanda Castillo, who put her talent and fame at the service of ‘Siete Veces Adiós’ to help the work. When she did, she let her run alone, but she came back three times, because as she herself says: “I bet on ‘Siete Veces Adiós’ for my friend, but I return for the cast that have become my family.”
In this third return, which was a 5-week tour starting in Mexico City and going through several cities until it culminated in Saltillo, she invited David Chocarro to accompany her. The Argentine actor had seen the musical and had fallen in love with the story, the staging, the music, the musicians and the singers and he let Castillo know..
This is how he joined this new adventure in his aa career that he defines as “one of the most magical professional moments. I feel infinite love for this opportunity, and for my colleagues, who I could say are the best artists Mexico has.”.
What is the success behind ‘Siete Veces Adiós’? The truth, a work written from pain, but with love and even humor. Respect for the protagonists ‘She’ who is Fernanda Castillo, ‘He’ who is David Chocarro, the key character of the whole work ‘El Amor’ sublimely interpreted by César Enríquezwho is so eclectic on stage that he leads the audience to switch characters with him almost without realizing it.
One of the keys are the singers, Diego Medel, Esván Lemus, Mónica Campos, Alba Mesaa, Andrés Saráchaga, Lucía Covarrubias. And the musicians, Javier Maldonado, René Camou, Mitsuoyoshiki, Wicho Sabido, Irving Lima, Belen Ruiz. Those who are not in the pit like the typical musicals, but on stage, participating and I feel as protagonists as the protagonists.
Young people, children, middle-aged people and grandparents, all made up each one of the audiences, and they all feel identified in some or all parts of this story, sin imagining the challenge that each function means for Castillo and Chocarro.
is that so much Fernanda and David agree that so many emotions are played on stage that for them each performance is an acting and personal challenge to give everything on a moving platform..
Yeah, That is another of the secrets of this success, the minimalist and surprising details in the scenery of this work, such as a platform that determines each detail according to its movements or not, the bed, a beach! and the sky of stars that if until that moment those present had not cried, then only sobs are heard in the theaters.
In this last function, for the moment, For Fernanda and David, the emotions were even more on the surface and they demonstrated it in one of the best performances given of the entire tour of this work whereAs they themselves explain, they are not looking for an alternative cast or scenery, the originals go on tour, both the talent and the scenery.
Although Castillo and Chocarro left in the midst of crying for them and their companions. The tour continues with two other protagonistss, but with the impressive farewell that you can see below, We do not doubt that they will return or that we will soon see them on a tour of the United States, and why not, on Broadway, since it has everything to surpass even ‘Hamilton’.
