Antonio Banderas brings Richard Gere to see Gypsy
Richard Gere took a trip and paid a visit to his pal Antonio Banderas in Malaga on Thursday, January 9, to enjoy a sitting of his musical, Gypsy.
The star of Pretty Woman, The Cotton Club, and American Gigolo did not hesitate in taking up the offer of a seat at the Soho Theatre to see one of the last showings the Gypsy company gave in Malaga before leaving for Madrid.
Antonio Banderas, the musical’s director, welcomed the actor to the theatre at the end of the performance. Gere praised Gypsy’s spectacularity and the enormity of the talent of the cast and crew. He also congratulated Marta Ribera for her great performance and shared a few words with the cast, ‘although I don’t understand everything in Spanish, I loved the show,’ the Hollywood star said.

Gypsy is enjoying its peak of popularity, ending in Malaga with all tickets sold out, and it won’t be until February 7 when the company returns to the boards at the Apolo Theatre in Madrid.
With a script by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Gypsy has been performed for the first time in Spain, brought here by Antonio Banderas, who has created a very abstract and purely artistically different version of the show. The musical has about thirty actors on stage and 26 musicians from the Larios Pop orchestra of Soho.
