MIAMI, FL — April 12, 2024 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Following its successful opening weekend, Rick Najera’s Sweet 15 ¡Que Quinceañera! bilingual live comedy continues this week, with the addition of two special guest stars, Alexander Arias, (Mr. Red) and Dairon Vazquez, for the next two weekend shows. This action-packed live comedy is currently running through April 28 at Renaissance at the Gables. Tickets are available for $49 and can be purchased at https://www.sweet15show.com or via Eventbrite.com.
On April 13-14, the show will feature social media sensation and comedian Alexander Arias known to fans as “Mr. Red.” Arias’ popularity blossomed on social media because of his relatable comedy skits that hit home for more than 400,000 followers across all his social platforms. As his popularity has grown, Arias has expanded to writing, producing, and acting.
From April 18-21, showgoers will have the opportunity to see Dairon Vazquez. Born in Cuba, and raised in Miami, Vazquez draws on firsthand experiences for his comedy. He started making video skits on social media portraying aspects of growing up and living in a typical Cuban American family. The relatable content has allowed him to transition from social media posts to live standup comedy shows.
Both stars will bring their own unique blend of comedy, and draw from their own experiences to add to this special show. Sweet 15 delves deep into the heart of a quinceañera celebration, a cherished Latina tradition that marks a young girl’s transition into womanhood. However, in this comedic production, a joyous rite of passage unfolds into a tale of unexpected (and literal) twists and turns, seven years late. The play is a valentine for families (especially Latino families) and shows the power of forgiveness as a father tries to win back his family after disappearing for seven years. Placed in an actual quinceañera hall, audiences will experience the exciting thrills of this immersive quinceañera. This Broadway-style extravaganza is set to be an unforgettable experience that will leave audiences singing along and laughing out loud.
The show features Rene Lavan (Christmas with the Kranks, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, Latinologues on Broadway, Every Witch Way), Ruben Rabasa (Ant Man, Father of the Bride, I Think You Should Leave, This is Us), Vanessa Lyon (Monday Nights at Seven), Lauren Lopez (In the Heights, Westside Story, Titanic the Musical, Shrek), Roberto Escobar (Bloodline, El Señor de los Cielos) and Margarita Coego among others .
