Antonio Banderas will premiere a new musical titled “Playing our song”

After ‘A Chorus Line’, ‘Company’ and ‘Godspell’, the Spanish actor and director Antonio Banderas returns to the theater on June 6 with the musical ‘Playing our song’, a “romantic, tender and crazy” comedy starring María Adamuz and Miquel Fernández.

Antonio Banderas directs the production ‘Playing our song’, with a book by Neil Simon, music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager and translation by María Ruiz, a musical that will premiere on the 6th at the Soho Theater in Malaga, his hometown , as published this Sunday on its website.

The cast is completed by Rai Borrell, Bealia Guerra, Javier Enguix, Cristina Gallego, Diego Rodríguez, Georgia Stewart, Silvia Cordero, and Natxo Núñez.

This new work is a crazy comedy that tells the funny relationship between Vernon Gersch, a successful composer, and Sonia Walsk, an unknown lyricist, hooked on a toxic relationship with her ex-boyfriend, whom she is unable to completely leave.

The musical, which premiered at the Imperial Theater in New York in 1979, is a fresh and crazy show, full of humor about the world of relationships, which pushes the viewer to laugh at their own insecurities and fears, at their successes and failures.

It is a musical journey full of rhythm and laughter, tenderness and emotion, whose vehicle is the smile from beginning to end. “Love and humor as medicine for these times.”

“Playing Our Song” was nominated for the ‘Tony Awards’ in four categories including best musical and for the prestigious ‘Drama Desk’ with five nominations.

Marvin Hamlisch’s scores will be performed again at the Soho Theater after ‘A Chorus Line’, under the musical direction of Arturo Díez Boscovich.

This new musical is the fourth directed by Antonio Banderas. In 2019, he promoted the Soho Theater project with ‘A Chorus Line’. In 2021, he directed and starred in the Spanish version of ‘Company’ and in 2022 he produced ‘Godspell’.
