So far from 2025, 530 titles (premieres and re -stress) were scheduled, which marks a historical record and at the same time an 8% growth in offer compared to 2024. This expansion of the billboard occurs despite the fact that the works have a lower amount of functions on average.
We who do theater notice the abrupt fall in spectators since September. The figures offered by AADET, which brings together commercial theater and music, confirm that The decrease was 5 % as there were 16 % less functions this month in relation to August. 14 average monthly functions of each work were provided in the commercial theater, which confirms the trend in the low of this variable, since in the same period last year the average was 17 functions per work.
And if that 5% fall is the number in the commercial theater, which offers titles that traction for their figures, the decrease in the Independent Theater doubles, with up to 30% less than in September, against 2024. Although September seasonally is a month of fall not only in theater but at the commercial level, after the winter holidays and for some kind of projection for summer holidays, in the best case, this September was very hard for the theatrical field and October does not emerge much better.
For this reason, the works that come from the middle of the year and planned to continue until December revolted the panorama and chose to offer the latest functions until October, which is why “latest functions” are read in most of those that come from before. Of course, there are still premieres in October and even November, and later the seasons in Mar del Plata of those that worked best during the year.
The concentration of spectators continues to be evidenced in a few works of the commercial: 50% of the September spectators chosen the same 10 productions (from a total of 135 shows), which also brought together 59% of the total collection of September. This reaffirms the weight of the titles of great call in the billboard of the city and that the most common and popular question when a work is recommended is “with what actors?”
The ten most seen of the last week were: “Rocky” (Nico Vázquez) First in the Lola Membrives, with entries between 70 thousand and 27,500 and leading from his debut; “The daughters”(Villamil, Gamboa and Díaz) in El Maipo, with maximum entrance to 50 thousand; “A shit Christmas” (Verónica Llinás, Alejo García Pintos) in the Premier, Top entrance to 55 thousand; “The dinner of the fools” (Laurita Fernández) in El Nacional, 55 thousand; “The Chief of the Chief” (Peretti, Sefeld) in the square to 55 thousand; “Brute Force” in Geba at 49,500; “Gender issue” in the Metropolitan, 55 thousand; “Chanta” (Agustín Rada Aristarán) in the Metropolitan, to 46 thousand; “Pretty Woman” (Florencia Peña) in the Astral, 55 thousand and “Who is who” (Brandoni, Silveyra) at the Lyceum, 45 thousand.
