Gardel canta en Hollywood

El argentino Aníbal Silveyra está radicado en Los Angeles desde hace más de una década. Allí se marchó luego de haber brillado en nuestra versión de El beso de la mujer araña , dirigida por Harold Prince, donde interpretó al personaje de Molina, y en decenas de musicales de los ochenta y los noventa. Silveyra continuó su carrera en el teatro (protagonizó Into the Woods , de Stephen Sondheim) y en TV ( The Practice ). Ahora presenta The Tango Singer , del también argentino John Rivera Lacey, en el Theatre West, una de las compañías más antiguas de esta ciudad (de la cual Lacey es miembro, junto con Richard Dreyfuss, Beau Bridges y el escritor Ray Bradbury). Este musical narra el meteórico ascenso de Carlos Gardel a su fama mundial, y su vínculo con José Maestro Razzano (intepretado por Daniel Keough) y con Elena "Malena" Tortolero (a cargo de Victoria Lavan).
