‘Mentiras’ the musical celebrates 17 years with Mijares

The musical 'Mentiras' turns 17 with Manuel Mijares as godfather and a plaque that celebrates its success on digital platforms.

A classic that doesn’t lie: 17 years of success

Manuel Mijares was the luxury godfather for the celebration. The interpreter did not stop smiling every time they mentioned his career or his successes during the evening. He seemed excited, like us when we found a rare vinyl at the flea market.

“It is an honor to step on this stage that has filled us with so much magic. Seventeen years is easy, but it must be more than a thousand performances,” said Mijares from the stage.

The artist highlighted how the work transports the public directly to the 80s. That decade where everything changed: the radio stations that switched from English to Spanish and stars emerged that still shine today. Pure nostalgia, but a good one.

From theater to digital phenomenon

The curious thing is that ‘Mentiras’ became a real success when it jumped to digital platforms. One of its producers assured that it is very possible that more content will come. Like when your favorite series announces a new season.

For the climax, the actors of the current production took the stage alongside Mijares. Paola Gómez, Jimena Cornejo, Regina Velarde and the rest of the cast accompanied the godfather to unveil the commemorative plaque.

A thousand performances later, this musical continues to prove that good stories—and good songs—don’t go out of style. Like those vinyls that always sound good, no matter how old they are.

Goodbye to ‘Dulce y picosito’: Flor Rubio’s program ends due to conflicts

Flor Rubio closes her YouTube program after irreconcilable differences between hosts.

The end of a stage

Flor Rubio announced the closure of her program Dulce y picosito on YouTube, after more than two years on the air. The decision was made after recognizing tensions between drivers.

During the last broadcast, on June 23, the Mexican journalist, along with Analú Salazar, Joel O’Farril, Gabo Cuevas and Carlo Curiel, said goodbye to the audience. Rubio explained that although a recent video with a strong discussion could have generated more views and earnings, it was not the right way to continue.

“We didn’t lie to you when we told you that we were a family, that we were a team… it’s just that life has cycles. You have witnessed complicated moments, totally human disagreements,” he expressed.

The host of Venga la salud pointed out that the latest disagreement between Gabo Cuevas and Carlo Curiel sparked the conversation about ending the project. “We have tried to resolve it. The last problem between Gabriel and Carlo triggered this decision,” he said.

The drivers also took the floor to say goodbye without hard feelings. Cuevas told Curiel: “In my heart there is no resentment or ill will towards you. I know that you are a child who wants to take on the world.” Curiel responded: “There are no heroes or villains, there is no one to blame. We are a team. Everyone has their struggles. The important thing is to keep what is beautiful.”

With these words, the channel came to an end, making it clear that, despite the conflicts, the affection between the team prevailed until the last moment.

Alexis Ayala opens up about her divorce and fatherhood

Alexis Ayala speaks without filters about love, fatherhood and his desire to fall in love again.

Actor Alexis Ayala presented his new project, Corazón de Morocco, the soap opera by Rosy Ocampo. During the event, he took the opportunity to share reflections on his personal life, especially his relationship with Cinthia Aparicio, with whom he spent five years: three of dating and two of marriage.

“Let’s see, I think being a dad in life is romanticized, it’s shit, it’s very difficult,” said the actor when talking about fatherhood.

Ayala did not limit himself to that topic. He also criticized the idealization of living together as a couple. “It is romanticized to sleep with the same person in the same bed every day. That does not mean that you cannot sleep together or that, suddenly, spaces can occur,” he explained.

Dreams and desire to love again

Despite the separation, the interpreter confessed that he still has hope in love. “I still have dreams, I still feel hungry, I still want everything. Why wouldn’t I want to fall in love? I want him to fall in love too, to be happy and to live happily,” he said in reference to his ex-partner.

With this honesty, Alexis Ayala shows a more human and less media side, far from the spotlight, but full of learning.
