Cantando Bajo la Lluvia

“Ivan Labanda perfectly captures the tone and energy of a Technicolor heartthrob, and thus his leading man Don Lockwood stretches his optimism throughout the performance.”

“In the movie, like now in the theater, in ‘Singing in the rain’ everything invites you to soak up escape”.

‘Singing in the rain’, a successful musical downpour at Barcelona’s Tívoli.”

“Ivan Labanda embodies Don Lockwood in a production in which the echo of Gene Kelly resounds to the rhythm of jazz and tap… and he does it in a big way, with one of those montages that are called to turn the billboard upside down.”

“With Ivan Labanda, Diana Roig and Ricky Mata as the leading trio; the musical promises a refreshingly glamorous spectacle.”

“The chemistry of the trio on stage is overwhelming with indisputable poise in singing and dancing. It is noted that the three protagonists have been preparing the choreography for the musical for some time and training in the different disciplines that occupy it. The pose of the body, the security… they give us a sublime interpretation as a result.”

“It’s a wonderful musical; MARVELOUS.”

Special chapter deserves Ivan Labanda, who is present in almost all numbers dancing and singing. His effort is highly appreciated considering that Kelly shot them for months and he only has a couple of hours and a half to execute them all with great precision in a montage that lives up to what is expected on the big stages.”

“Ivan Labanda brings Don Lockwood to life. Difficult task: to play a character brought to life by one of the best dancers of all time. Labanda’s interpretive skills are excellent and her singing voice makes you fall in love. Dancing, you have to recognize the incredible effort you must have made to live up to those beautiful choreographies. He has studied the movements of Gene Kelly and his elegance when moving, and he has managed to capture it. The number ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ is spectacular.”

“A spectacular production with a luxury cast. All the main actors give absolutely everything on stage and the result is excellent.”

“A great show.”

“One of the most successful musicals on the current theatrical billboard.”

“…The tandem made up of the two male actors stands out above the rest: Ivan Labanda and Ricky Mata. A comic duo whose voices blend perfectly, with excellent coordination when executing the jazz and tap ballet numbers.”

“Storm of dancing and laughter at Tivoli.”

“An enthusiastic audience acclaims Ivan Labanda in the famous number of the rain: The success of a song that when you leave the show you can not stop singing.
