The actress holds herself with a stiffness that suggests the grave but slowly allows the music, and the man, to bend her long form. It’s as if Eva is gently unfurling herself for us, to reveal the woman she was in life, one last time.” —Washington City Paper "It's a fascinating story, and GALA's production...complements the tale with infectious music, spiced with salsa, liturgical chorales and other genres". —Washington Post "Ott and Vales have packed a tremendous amount of history into "Momia", which faithfully reproduces what happened in Argentina from 1952 until 1976" —Washington Examiner "Once again GALA makes a priceless contribution to Washington theatre with this splendorous world premiere musical. Don’t miss it. Let the rafters of the Tivoli shake, rattle and ring with the vocal blend of an impassioned international cast". —DC Theatre Scene "GALA deserve applause for nerve alone for this out of the ordinary and very worthy possible cross-over venture". —Potomac Stages "Un hito en la trayectoria del Teatro GALA. Esta es la primera vez que se realiza un musical de esta magnitud, que incluye cerca de 40 personas en escena." —Maritza Gueler. El Tiempo Latino “A seven-person orchestra and 21-person chorus offstage deliver Vales’ arresting music, which is alternatively harsh and gentle Together with Carina Losano’s brilliant choreography using salsas, milongas and tangos, the music gives “Momia” its earthy, zesty feel, ensuring that the musical comes off as anything but a staged history lesson.” —The Examiner "Una propuesta que deber ser vista por los amantes del teatro." —Mitzi Macías. Washinton Hispanic   "Conforte's physical vocabulary is impressive (...). She offers audiences a tremendous performance to consider." —Tom Ávila. Metro Weekly “Carina Losano, who gave Madonna tango tips for the "Evita" movie, according to the playbill, supplies witty choreography that references vogue-ing, ballroom dance and street-protest carousing.” —Washington Post NOTE: Although the Embassy of Argentina is not involved in any aspect of the organization of this event, we inform you of this program as it relates to Argentine culture.
