Tricicle brought to Spain the 'Forever Young', a musical lover's rock

Following the success of the Spanish version of the musical Monty Python's Spamalot, the comedy trio Tricicle gets back to the front of the direction to take to the tables, the first adaptation to the Castilian of the hit musical Forever Young, represented for the first time in Hamburg 2001. The show will be seen for the first time in Spain at the Teatro Compac Gran Vía de Madrid from March 16 until May 8.

Eleven years after its premiere in Hamburg, the Forever Young musical has thrilled audiences of half the world hits the rhythm of the music as I love Rock'n Roll by Joan Jett; Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones), Sweet Dreams , Eurythmics, or I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. Now, after traveling to countries like Denmark, Sweden, England, Germany and Norway, and have become a cult classic in Hamburg, arrived in Spain in its first version in Castilian.

We saw the musical in Norway, and we were completely fascinated Set in 2050, Forever Young tells how the daily lives of six elderly living in a nursing home with nothing to do but wait for death, and the nurse in charge of their care . However, these six characters are not willing to waste their last days of life and quickly transform your meager existence a continuous fun.

This is a "hymn to life," a reflection on the passage of time, the fear of every human being to age and the need never to lose the will to live. "It's a show for everyone. In 2050, 50% of Europe will be aged and it is important that nobody forgets that rebellious spirit that you have when you're young, that will to live, to enjoy the day to day," she explained Joan Gràcia, Tricicle member, at a press conference.

The supporting cast is made up of Mark Cross, Mary Adams, James Dicenta, Dulcinea Juárez, Armando Pita, Edith Salazar and Ruben Yuste. The protagonists are the actors who are portraying themselves in four decades. "They have the same name as the actors, because we wanted to give more realism and show how they will be in forty years," confessed Carles Sans.

We decided to let each song in its original language Sans, Gracia and Paco Mir, better known as Tricicle, recalled that the idea of \u200b\u200bbringing the Spanish stages this musical was born after they saw the assembly in Oslo and was fascinated. So much so that, say, repeated the next day.

"We were performing in Oslo, and one day we were open we went to see this musical. Did not understand anything in Norwegian, but we are completely fascinated by the songs, history and public response," said Sans. At the rate of classics such as Forever Young, Alphaville, I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor; You CAN leave your hat on, Joe Cocker, or "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics, Tricicle Madrid wants the public to take a laugh issue does not seem fun, such as retirement.

"These are songs known by everyone. We decided to leave them in their original language. They are referring, music icons that we would lose its essence if we had translated," said Sans. But the soundtrack also includes some successes in Spanish as the girl yesterday, Nacha Pop, Free, Nino Bravo, Camilo Sesto, or classic.

Besides the fun and music, the work also has some "historical strokes, which excite the most nostalgic. "There are some moments that the elderly have the adventures of his youth and that is when there is a historical review. For example, Reuben tells how his life was being a hippie, or Dulcinea remember when I was an activist, a squat, not lost a demonstration, "stated Sans.

An intimate musical, in the words of Tricicle, in the key of comedy that will undoubtedly be a treat for rock lovers.
