Four artists singing around a piano

A journey through the history of musical theatre, at CaixaForum

A group of young artists perform at That's a musical! the best-known songs by authors such as Lloyd Webber, Schönberg and Sondheim.

If it's not you, it's a friend or a relative: there's always someone who knows by heart all (or almost all) the famous songs from North American musicals. This is the case of the dozen young performers who, from 3 to 18 February, will perform at CaixaForum.... a musical made up of fragments of musicals.

A cast made up of Clara Altarriba, Elisabet Molet, Estel Tort, Ariadna Comas, Àfrica Alonso, Adriana Garcia, Eloi Gómez, Bittor Fernández, Xavier Torras, Gerard Alonso, Marc Andurell and Nuria Llausí, are at the service of stage director, choreographer and author of the texts Joan Maria Segura and musical director Xavier Torras for 55 intense minutes.

The result is a play, recommended for all audiences who love musicals from the age of five upwards, in which some boys and girls realise that a theatre is dismantling the decorations of old musicals that have been performed there and they want to take a peak.

While they are looking through all kinds of objects, sets and costumes, they recognise elements from different musicals, which leads to a series of stories and anecdotes related to each of the works and, of course, to the performance of some of the best-known themes from musicals by authors such as the aforementioned and even…  ABBA.

Xavier Erra has taken charge of the artistic direction and the sets of a show that may be made up of retakes from great musicals, but which, precisely for this reason, constitutes a feast of great successes, well-known themes that will amuse and move you.

If you don't want to miss the great celebration of North American musicals being prepared at CaixaForum, come and see That's a musical, but before you come check the website for all the information you need.
