Roberto Moll shines in the Creole musical "Cariño Malo" in Lima this November.

Roberto Moll has taken an exciting turn in his career by starring in the criollo musical "Cariño Malo," a work that promises to capture the essence of criollismo through contemporary storytelling and a carefully selected musical repertoire. This premiere, which will take place from November 7 to 24 at the Municipal Theater of Lima, is a significant venture for both the actor and the production, which will strive to highlight the cultural richness of Peru in each of its performances. With more than 15 artists on stage and a live orchestra, "Cariño Malo" serves as a tribute to traditional Peruvian music, including iconic songs such as "Mal paso," "La noche de tu ausencia," "Regresa," and "Cuando llora mi guitarra." The play will be a sonic journey that seeks to connect the audience with their roots while celebrating the diversity and depth of love in its various stages. The plot revolves around the criollo peña "Don Felipe," an emblematic venue on the brink of bankruptcy. Its owner, stubborn and nostalgic, refuses to accept help. However, his granddaughter Meche and his loyal assistant Luis embark on a mission to convince him that change is necessary. This generational conflict deepens with the arrival of a love from the past, challenging not only Don Felipe's emotional stability but also his view of life and the traditions he has defended for so long. Under the direction of Tommy Párraga and the production of Scenika, "Cariño Malo" aims not only to entertain but also to invite reflection on the importance of traditions in an increasingly globalized society. The work positions itself as a bridge between the past and the present, where love and cultural identity intertwine in an intimate and moving narrative. On the other hand, Sebastián Yatra's arrival on Broadway with the musical "Chicago" adds an exciting note to the world of Spanish-language musical theater. Although these two events represent different contexts, both highlight the evolution and opening of the performing arts in the Latin sphere. Yatra's participation in one of the most iconic productions of the North American theatrical scene reflects a growing interest in Latin American culture abroad. Thus, the projects of Moll and Yatra are representative of a new era in which the boundaries of theater are expanding, allowing the stories and traditions of Latin America to be seen and celebrated on international stages. While Moll seeks to reconnect the audience with their roots through "Cariño Malo," Yatra faces the challenge of bringing his talent to the competitive world of Broadway. The fusion of these two worlds—the criollo and the contemporary, the local and the international—invites theater lovers to enjoy a variety of offerings that enrich the cultural landscape. Tickets for "Cariño Malo" are already available on Teleticket, and expectations are growing as the premiere date approaches. Theater enthusiasts have much to look forward to this November, where music and acting come together to celebrate national identity and the stories that make us unique. Without a doubt, "Cariño Malo" will mark the beginning of a new chapter in Roberto Moll's career and leave a profound impact on the hearts of those who attend the production. The date is set, and all that remains is to enjoy what promises to be an unforgettable show.
