Actors Adrián Suar and Carla Peterson premiered their new theatrical comedy "Sottovoce" on May 21, 2026 [1] at Teatro El Nacional in Buenos Aires [1].
The production's rapid ascent to the top of the box office reflects the enduring draw of high-profile stars in the Corrientes theatre circuit. By securing a dominant market position shortly after its debut, the play demonstrates the commercial viability of star-driven comedies in the Argentine capital.
Suar and Peterson served as both the lead actors and producers for the project [1]. The play aimed to attract audiences back to the city's central theatre district through a blend of comedic timing and established celebrity appeal [1].
Early financial data indicates the production was a significant commercial success. According to the Association of Entertainment Theatres (AADET), "Sottovoce" ranked first in theatrical recaudations during its first week [3]. This performance established it as the most-watched show on the current billboard [2].
The production also drew attention from prominent figures in the Argentine arts scene. Mirtha Legrand attended a performance at Teatro El Nacional [2].
"Qué buenos actores, qué maravilla," Legrand said [2].
As producers, Suar and Peterson managed the launch to maximize visibility across digital and traditional media. The play continues to run at Teatro El Nacional, maintaining its position as a primary attraction for tourists and locals alike [1].
“"Qué buenos actores, qué maravilla."”
The immediate commercial success of "Sottovoce" underscores the power of the 'star system' in Buenos Aires theatre. By combining production control with leading roles, Suar and Peterson have leveraged their personal brands to stabilize a high-risk venue in the Corrientes circuit, signaling a continuing trend where celebrity-led productions outperform experimental or ensemble works in ticket sales.
