Preview_ Paquito Forever at Live at Zédel

After his London debut at Crazy Coqs to rave reviews last season with ‘Something’s Coming: a Sondheim tribute’ and his acclaimed New York City debut at Feinstein’s/54 Below, Joan Vázquez is thrilled to present in London Paquito Forever, the one-man musical of this season in Barcelona.

Paquito Forever is a new musical written by Fran Arráez and Gerard Alonso and directed by Victor Alvaro.

Meet Paquito Alonso, flamenco dancer, comedian, transvestite… artist! From his childhood in post-war Spain –wandering the Paralelo cabarets wishing to be a Star– to a career in the States getting to perform at the best venues in New York and Vegas, the true story of Paquito Alonso is one of relentless determination, in a quest to find a place in the world where he could be who he truly was in times of repression.

       

Vázquez –accompanied on the piano by Gerard Alonso, and joined by a West End star (to be announced)– brings an evening of stand-up comedy, flamenco, blues, jazz, dancing and a tiny little bit of cross-dressing. Don’t miss the chance to meet the endearing Paquito and discover this awesome true story of big dreams and courage. Cabaret at its best.

Regarding the opening of Paquito Forever in London Joan says: ‘Paco passed away shortly after I was cast in the role of Paquito in the revival of Flor De Nit. He had created that role in the 90s and the news came as a shock right in the middle of rehearsals. I began enquiring about his life and, to my surprise, he had had an amazing artistic career audiences didn’t know about. His story had to be told. I had to do a show about him.

I can’t believe we’re taking the show to London right after our Barcelona run! We have been getting such good feedback for the show and we feel very grateful for that. People are feeling very moved by the story of Paco. I can’t wait for Londoners to see it!’

Paquito Forever will make its London premiere at Live at Zédel on Wednesday 2nd May 2018, 7.00pm. The show will be performed in English.
