Yo he hecho mas de 1000 funciones como Colate y nunca habia vivido lo que estoy viviendo en las funciones previas; eso si, siempre con respeto al montaje anterior, porque no se nos olvide que si aquel no hubiera funcionado, hoy no estariamos aqui haciendolo de nuevo' Tambien podremos ver de nuevo a David Carrillo, que repite experiencia encarnando a Guillermo: 'Yo me lo tomo como algo nuevo y lo vivo cada noche como si a Guillermo le ocurriera todo por primera vez, aunque Secun de la Rosa le ha dado un giro a mi personaje, con lo cual siento que estoy haciendo algo totalmente nuevo' Al elenco se unen algunos rostros nuevos, uno de ellos es el de Canco Rodriguez, que en esta nueva etapa del musical interpretara el personaje de Panchi: 'Es mi primera vez en un musical, empece nervioso porque no sabia como moverme en este medio, pero bueno, como he hecho teatro muchos años, me he tenido que meter caña con las canciones, tengo unos minutitos de gloria donde vais a poder disfrutar, o no, de mi voz'. Y, con el, Andrea Guasch, como Maria, Claudia Traisac, como Ana, Ana Polvorosa, como Patricia, Alejandro de la Vega, como Anselmo y Beatriz Ros, como Malena. El proximo jueves, 12 de septiembre, los espectadores podran disfrutar una vez mas de este espectaculo en el Teatro Coliseum y, en palabras de su director artistico, 'Se van a sorprender con un espectaculo magico, divertido y emocionante, tienen que venir a verlo'.
