The iconic Teatro Silvia Pinal in Mexico City will host in March the highly anticipated premiere of 'La chica del bikini azul,' a musical tribute to the legendary Mexican singer Luis Miguel, known as the "Sol de México."

This project has been in development for over 15 years and is finally coming to life with a talented cast led by Mexican singer Juan Solo. He will be accompanied in the show by renowned theater figures Laura Luz and María Filippini.

What is the musical about?

The musical begins at a funeral, where five young people discover they are siblings of the deceased. To claim their father's million-dollar inheritance, they must marry for love.

This engaging premise sets the stage for a heartfelt and entertaining journey as the characters search for their "incondicional" while enjoying the unforgettable hits that made Luis Miguel a global icon.

A talented cast

Juan Solo takes on the challenge of performing Luis Miguel's most demanding songs.

"Juan was the last to be cast because we needed someone with a wide vocal range and strong acting skills. From the moment we saw his audition, we knew he was perfect for the role," producer Omar Carrasco told TV y Novelas.

The cast also features seasoned performers like Laura Luz, María Filippini, Manuel Gorka, and Victoria Trujano, each bringing their charisma and expertise to the production.

Over 30 Luis Miguel hits on stage

One of the musical's biggest draws is its soundtrack, featuring more than 30 of Luis Miguel's greatest hits, spanning from his teenage years to his latest successes.

However, these songs are not performed in full; instead, they are adapted into medleys or key fragments to fit seamlessly into the story.

"The songs serve the narrative, not the other way around," explained Carrasco, ensuring that the music enhances the storyline rather than overshadowing it.

Music rights and licensing

While Luis Miguel is not the songwriter behind these hits, the production collaborated with the Mexican Society of Authors and Composers (SACM) to secure the necessary rights.

This ensures that the original composers receive proper royalties, reinforcing the ethical commitment of the project.

'La chica del bikini azul' will debut in Mexico City on Friday, March 7, with performances on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at Teatro Silvia Pinal.
