Barcelona Theater: As a declared lover of the musicals, what is your favorite song of the musical?

Adrián Lastra: I think I would stay with “Sandy”, the one sang by Danny Zuko. I really liked when I first saw her in the movie but what she does Quique Nice In this montage it is wonderful. It has a brutal interpretative force and manages to convey a lot with the voice. It gives her a special emotion that makes her unique.

For the unique, and iconic, the choreography of this musical.

Choreographically, I really like everything. L ‘opening It is one of the most powerful moments, with the presentation of the characters and the strength of the girls. The choreography of Toni Espinosa They have a lot of dynamism and energy. Personally, I might have left with the contest, which is one of the songs my character sings. I also really like the final dance, which has a spectacular pace and contagious energy. Each choreography is designed for the audience to stick and live the excitement of the show from the armchair.

What differences does your character bring about the movie?

In this adaptation of David SerranoVince Fontaine is much more than the presenter of the film: he is the main thread of the show. It provides an agile pace, dances the audience and sings themes that do not sound in the film. It also interacts much more with the rest of the characters and the audience. I think it gives a new dimension to the paper and makes it more essential within the plot of the musical.

Who does the tupe better?

To Quique Nice! She is obsessed with her perfect, and she has left! Also Pau Gimenothat I already knew of Billy Elliot. It is very difficult for a tupe to look good. Very difficult. With me they tried and I said, “No, no, no, I don’t have good” (river). But it is fun to see how everyone finds their style and how the wardrobe helps build each character.

“There is a great job in the wardrobe; Hairdressing and makeup are key ”

Do you spend a lot of time in hairdressing and makeup?

It takes time, especially for girls, who wear wigs. Lucía Pemanfor example, at first do not door, but the hairstyles are very careful. The makeup is discreet, except for Rizzo, who is a very strong and striking character. I arrive hour and a half before to warm my voice and prepare. There is also a great job in the wardrobe, which is essential to transport us to the 50’s and bring to life these iconic characters. Hairdressing and makeup are key for each actor to feel inside his role.

What is the piece, or the accessory, more iconic in the assembly?

((river) Sandy’s wig of the end, or she with that frog. I don’t know, I would try it to see how I have left. Surely I would like to throw myself on a balcony of shame, but to try … I would also have some leather jacket of some of the male characters, because they have a lot of character and style. They are iconic pieces that define the aesthetics of that time very well and make the show even more faithful to the original.
