One of the most meaningful experiences in my life, has been involved in staging more than three years, from the play "Grease"-inspired version of Julissa Timbiriche. In the summer of 1988, Juan Carlos, my friend lifetime, and I were traveling back from Mexico City to Guadalajara. We had spent some holidays there and we were talking about various things. Among them, JC told me his idea of \u200b\u200bputting the work detailed in the city of Guadalajara. To me it seemed so absurd and out of its occurrence, even took it seriously. JC asked me to help your project and I remember I laughed a lot. Something I bet you can not remember why, and told him that if I lost the bet then helped him. Total I lost the bet, and more to fulfill my commitment to win, we started to assemble the piece.
JC had the original script the work, as well as all the music. Tons first thing was the casting. As JC put radio spots (In Super Stereo, Station 
poppera of time between chavitos l) calling for applicants to attend his grandmother's house (Evita Mama ), now located in the La Glorieta Stampede, a Saturday morning. The response was tremendous, he never imagined. They must have thought the production would be a professional or do not know what happened, but were easily a hundred people to audition. I knew the theater and choreography, as I know right now diesel engines. But he had made a promise to my friend and I would not pull back. "Help me with acting auditions, go ahead. Pin the scene and you choosing to do it better" I had asked my friend, while he was in charge of choreography auditions.

and selecting the back better. It is important to point out that I had never played or taken acting classes, except in a school festival and so wild veery. The hours were advancing and although I could hardly recognize him I was taking it like a casting (Nepotism pure, I was the coach for being a friend of the director, not my knowledge or talent) and by noon, I was all an Andrew Lloyd Weber or a minimum of choubisnesss Manolo Fabregas. with raised eyebrow, and index fingers resting on the nose and the whole thing, I was able to detect the histrionic talents of aspiring to join the great musical production. JC and I were the "older" project, we had both nineteen. The ages ranged from down there, reaching chavitos twelve-thirteen years.

The day progressed and auditions as well. Came time to choose the actor who would play Kiko, Danny's best friend Seco, ie the first part male. Ah, indeed, the leading roles were for siblings Mestas (JC = Danny Dry, Sandy Tontal Mariana =), I say that the thing was very democratic. Incestuous Well, there were JC and Mariana sung on stage as the duo drive-Pimpinella. Total for the selection of Kiko, I put my other comic scene. But candidates for the role, did not give one. Lacked punchy, voice lacked, lacked malice. Kiko was a bad boy, a rebellious 50's, but in the version of Timbiriche, was a caricature of a bad, not bad-bad, haha. I wear full stage manager and poof, that these fun of how I did. JC goes out there and stares at me. Then come up to me and tells me quietly with a smile of Mensa, "Hey, why do not you do better Kiko? You out better than others" And I "Not at all, JC, I told you I did not I act and I was going to help with other things, I'm no good at it nor do I like "And JC, which has more saliva Merola and a more persuasive and manipulative is a used car salesman convinced me to make the paper "for a time, whereas we find someone to get it right" Well, with the penalty, we advise applicants that for now the role of Kiko was already taken and then would seek to alternate, Jaja, or more cruel So executives of production?
That's where I met my would-be lifelong friends. Not unique, but definitely does the main, my circle of support, my brothers by choice (in disorder): Miguel, Boris Henry, Mony, Tacho, Hector, Else, Lucy, John Adrian and many more (For the brothers Mestas and others already knew from long ago) many other friends, joined the project with different roles: actors, "choir", drivers, loaders, stagehands, promoters, sponsors, ticket sellers, brainwashers and swindlers. Then come the spouses, boyfriends, Amaziah, and others that would add to the ball. I estimate that in presentations, the company's total to have fifty people and cast the lot of them liked pegostles join the lair of the musical.
In my next installment, told them about how they were our "trials" and how was our artistic debut in October 1988 Events. I welcome your comments.
