It was confirmed yesterday that Sandro’s musical will debut in April next year at the Coliseum. In the year in which Roberto Sanchez would be 80 years oldwill launch a musical to pay tribute to the artist and celebrate his legacy, whose protagonist will emerge from an open audition. The latest revelation in this regard was Agustín Sullivan in 2018who played the young Sandro in the record-breaking Telefé series, while the middle-aged Sandro was played by Marco Antonio Caponi and the mature Antonio Grimau.
The announcements were made in the legendary medieval-looking castle that Sandro himself designed and built as a production and recording studio, located on Avenida Pavón in Boedo. At the presentation were Olga Garaventa de Sánchez; Leonardo De Pinto Regional Director of Tournament Contents (show producer); Ana Sans and Julio Panno, screenwriters and directors of the work; Jose Luis Paganmusical director of UPM Hits and Juan Crespo, CEO of 3C Films.
“It is an honor that they chose Sandro’s story to represent it through a musical with his songs, his lyrics, and to keep alive that flame that left its mark on the fans that he still has today,” said Olga. “I am proud to know that my husband’s memory and art will be once again recognized, as they deserve.”
The work will recreate the character from his talent as a singer and showman, but also as a man. It will feature technological displays that seek to provide international quality. With a repertoire composed of his best songs, the planned artistic and musical display will evoke Sandro’s successful concerts in the years of greatest popularity, but with a production updated to 2025.
“Many artists have marked a before and after with their music, popularity and talent, but only a few have become legends,” said De Pinto. “Sandro has been part of my life since I started in the world of cinema with my father,” said Juan Crespo. “With Ernesto Spitz, we have worked hard on Sandro’s content. I have distributed all of his films around the world and I have always had the desire to produce a play. Together with Pepe Pagan and Luciano Foppoli, director of 3C Films, we developed this idea that we quickly told Olga and her team, who were delighted with the project that is materializing in alliance with Torneos.”
“We have the challenge of bringing the 60s and 70s to 2025, preserving the essence of what was one of the greatest influences of Argentine music for Latin America and adapting it to a sound of the highest quality, preserving the magic of the originals with a modern touch,” added José Luis Pagán.
Its artistic director, Ana Sans, He said: “Sandro, the one from America, the great one, the seducer, the respectful one, the pleasant one, the one with strength, style and nobility, the one with the frank smile. And Roberto, the good guy who nurtured him, a worthy diamond soul who accompanied us with his generosity and talent. He is unquestionably in us. This beautiful project is something unrepeatable, as he was. Sandro, the only one.”
On June 6, 1980, Sandro inaugurated his musical theater shows at the Teatro Coliseo with his show “Sandro.” He used 1,156 rhythmic audio lamps that formed the word Sandro, which were moved to the beat of the music by means of a vibration sensor, a mirror ball, special pyrotechnic effects and flames at the end of the show when he sang “Hay mucha agitación.” This show included sound equipment, lighting, cannons or fans and computers that he had bought from the group Kiss and brought from the United States.
Also in 1980, on August 21, “Subí que te llevo” was released, the last of the eleven films in which she starred. The end of the film corresponds to the recording of the closing with “Hay mucha agitación” of her show at the Teatro Coliseo.
He returned a year later with his “Great Farewell Recital 1981” at the Coliseo Theater.
On April 15, 1999, in one of his exceptional public appearances, he attended the first Gardel Awards ceremony at the Teatro Coliseo. He was the first artist to receive the Gardel de Oro and was thanked, applauded by his colleagues: “In this very place I used to do a song called El rey de la canción, and I closed it with an image of Don Carlos Gardel.”
