Corrientes Avenue: The top 10 theater shows currently running

Comedy. Starring Imanol Arias and Mercedes Morán. Directed by Claudio Tolcachir.

She (Mercedes) and He (Imanol) are a married couple who have been together for many years and have a formula: they know when to talk and when to keep quiet. Of course, if there came a day when they decided to say everything, face to face, what would happen? The best part? The return to the Buenos Aires stage of the actor from "Camila."

Where: at Paseo La Plaza, Neruda Room, Corrientes Avenue 1660.

Shows from Wednesday to Sunday. Tickets: from $15,000 to $25,000.

After succeeding in the off circuit, the writer from Mercedes, Hernán Casciari, and author of super popular works like "Más respeto que soy tu madre," takes the stage of Corrientes Avenue, with none other than his mother Chichita.

In a comedy "based on real events," as the poster of the play says, this comedy, on stage since May 1st, promises to make you laugh and perhaps even reflect on the mother-child bond.

Where: at Paseo La Plaza, Picasso Room, Corrientes Avenue 1660.

Wednesday and Thursday shows. Tickets from $16,000.

Comedy with Nicolás Vázquez, Julieta Nair Calvo, Giselle Dufour, and ensemble. Directed by Mariano Demaría.

An actor can't find work because of how arrogant and egocentric he is: nobody can stand him. So, he decides to audition for female roles and manages to become the female co-star of a soap opera. But he falls in love with his co-star. Based on the 1980s film starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange, the adaptation allows Nico Vázquez to "Argentinize" with facts and data from Argentina.

Where: at Teatro Lola Membrives, Corrientes Avenue 1280.

Shows from Thursday to Sunday. Tickets from $15,000 to $24,000.

Drama with Andrés Gil and Gimena Accardi. Directed by Nicolás Vázquez.

They must confront an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, driven by their unconditional love. Bring disposable tissues because this staging promises to make you shed tears.

Drama with Luis Machín and Lorenzo. Directed by Daniel Veronese.

The play focuses on psychoanalyst Sigmud Freud (Luis Machín), who invites young and brilliant academic C.S. Lewis (Javier Lorenzo) to his home in London. That same day, England enters World War II, and they will discuss the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life. Directed by Daniel Veronese, the play stands out as one of the best in the dramatic genre.

Where: at Teatro Picadero, Santos Discépolo Passage 1857.

Shows: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tickets: $17,000.

Comedy written and directed by Gabriel Chamé Buendía.

Black comedy in which Buendía, one of the references in clowning in South America, adapts William Shakespeare's piece, but turns everything towards comedy, surrealism, and gags, whether physical or verbal, rhyming or not.

Clown techniques are ingenious in adapting the play. The use of stage resources is completely original, as well as the music. It has been on stage for over 10 years. The best part: the mischievous humor.

Where: at Teatro Metropolitan, Corrientes Avenue 1343.

Every Wednesday at 10:30 pm. Tickets: $15,000.
