During the Winter Holidays 2026, the Buenos Aires theatre scene adds options for both children and adults with a variety of formats: musicals, stories inspired by classic fairy tales, live music performances, and immersive experiences that invite you to be part of the game.
From the return of beloved characters such as Piñón Fijo to new proposals like Migue and Lucy, a Rock Story, Chingalepa, and a theatrical version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there are options for different ages and tastes.
Musical Productions to Sing, Play, and Discover New Stories
Migue and Lucy, a Rock Story
The national rock scene arrives at family theatre with a story that blends music, friendship, and identity. The play follows Migue, a sensitive boy who has a dream that he still finds hard to say aloud: to become a rock star.
Alongside Lucy, his best friend, he traverses a universe where fame, social media, and the pressure to transform to achieve what he desires appear. Through humor and songs, the show presents a central question: how far must one change to fulfill a dream?
The work incorporates references to iconic moments in Argentine rock and recreates scenes linked to figures such as Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly García, and the Indio Solari.

The show includes songs known from the group such as Soplaré Soplaré, inspired by the tale of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf, and adds Soy Yo Caperucita, a new creation based on the classic tale Little Red Riding Hood.

The production preserves the rock attitude that characterizes Los Raviolis, with live songs and a blend of humor suitable for both kids and adults.
