You know that sometimes it's difficult to reschedule new dates, but thanks to the audience's attendance and the critics, we have been able to do it, taking into account that there are many people who could not attend due to the long weekend. So we invite you all this Friday, May 8, at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Come celebrate our grand finale that day, because this project deserves it," expressed Javier Grullón.

Among its productions are Grease, In The Heights and Peter Pan, el musical, the latter with multiple sold-out performances and a great impact on the local public.

They also explained that this performance on May 8th will mark the definitive closing of the RENT season, ruling out the possibility of taking the play to other cities such as Santiago de los Caballeros, due to the technical requirements, permits, and dimensions that a production of this magnitude requires. The production features a first-rate cast led by Javier Grullón and Karla Fatule, who share the stage with prominent figures such as Héctor Aníbal, Tony Almont and Techy Fatule, as well as Guille Martín, Nico Clínico and Laura Rivera. Alongside them, a talented group completes a cast of more than 25 artists on stage, contributing interpretive and vocal strength to this demanding rock opera. The last performance of this acclaimed musical will be presented on May 8th at the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and tickets will be available through Uepa Tickets.
