Mirtha Legrand’s Ovation at Rocky Fuels Buzz for Buenos Aires Hit

Her ovation-laced visit signals fresh star power boosting the ACE-winning musical’s long run on Corrientes.

Overview

  • Mirtha Legrand, who attended a sold-out Friday performance at Teatro Lola Membrives, drew a standing ovation from the crowd.
  • Nicolás Vázquez, still dressed as Rocky in boxer shorts with a bare torso and stage blood, stepped off the stage to hand her a bouquet of roses.
  • Reacting to his training for the role, Legrand asked, “Do you have this body? Did you have it before?”, which set off laughter in the theater.
  • She praised the production as “fantastic” and noted its recent sweep of seven Premios ACE, including the top ACE de Oro award.
  • The Rocky adaptation remains a marquee draw on Calle Corrientes with celebrity attention, from Lionel Messi’s visit to Legrand’s endorsement, which keeps the run in the spotlight.
