The full house show at the National Theater was directed by Waddys Jáquez.
Raymond Pozo and Miguel Céspedes filled the National Theater with humor and gratitude with the show “Aquí se vale soñar”.
For two hours, the staging was a reminiscence of their beginnings 30 years ago, many anecdotes and the duo’s best known characters, where each one shone separately.
On the big screen they showed two children running through the TN who found two crowns in the backstage area and placed them on their heads. Then the children came out in front of the audience and received a standing ovation as a sign of two dreamers who succeeded.
Seconds later, compadres Raymond Pozo and Miguel Céspedes came out on stage, singing a song of overcoming, dressed in period tuxedos, dancers and a live band directed by Antonio González, an opening that emulated the traditional theater with the titles and names of the characters placed on the ceiling.
Routines and characters
At the press conference prior to the show directed by Waddys Jáquez and produced by César Suárez Jr, Raymond said that what the public will see on stage will be “a mini Soberano” and the entrance they made on Saturday night was worthy of an opening of the award.
Miguel began with a routine where he spoke “English” and Raymond emphasized that Dominicans who two days after arriving in another country pick up the accent. Then they talked about the ins and outs of the marriages and let out some naughty words.
The comedians are proven presenters of Premios Soberano, but this is the first time they presented themselves in the most important theater of the country with pure humor. “Compadre, the truth is that we have grown, from Carreyegua to the Theater”, said Miguel, while Raymond recalled what it was like to come from poverty from San Cristobal, coming from a family of 10 siblings, but bread appeared ‘by the grace of God’, anecdotes that they illustrated with photographs of the beginnings.
Of the generation that started with them at Telemicro, the “Mamá del humor”, Cheddy García was the first guest, and they had the audience in fits of laughter.
“My daughter Chelsy came out white because a black guy rejected me,” said Cheddy.
Whether scripted or not, the intervention of the three was quite organic. They let it be known that they are no longer “of now” and as a gift the three gave each other two wheelchairs and a cane. Cheddy then sang “Mamá ta’ piedra”.
In a brief change, Efrain, the first character of Raymond, “the most beautiful man in the country”, then came Tirso, the most famous character of Miguel Cespedes, from “Carreyegua pal’ mundo”. This peasant from the south who speaks with all the “rr’s” and dances bachata, narrated the journey of arriving in “Nueva yorr” for the first time.
After this first part the compadres came back together with another change of costumes, this time more elegant in a pink tone.
