Rada Will Miss About a Week of TV Ahead of His June 4 Opening as Willy Wonka

An on‑air reproach from host Mario Pergolini drew attention and prompted Rada to apologize to the production for the scheduling overlap.

Overview

  • Rada is confirmed to star as Willy Wonka in Charlie y la Fábrica de Chocolate at Teatro Gran Rex with the production opening on June 4 and an intensive winter run that includes multiple daily shows.
  • He told Otro Día Perdido that the stage schedule will force him to miss roughly a week of recordings during the busy performance period.
  • During the May 29 broadcast Pergolini made an ironic reproach about Rada’s absences, reminding him that he has previously suspended recordings when hosts could not attend.
  • Hours after the on‑air exchange Rada appeared on Intrusos to apologize to the TV team, say the theatrical commitment predated his TV role, and thank Pergolini and producers for adjusting recording times to reduce his absences.
  • The episode highlights the practical strain when performers juggle live theater and daily television, since production teams must shift schedules and staff must work earlier or longer to keep both shows running.
