Lari Panini, la talentosa artista mexicana, está brillando en el escenario off-Broadway en “La Llamada” del Repertorio Español. Su carrera está marcada por una pasión inquebrantable por las artes escénicas y una resiliencia admirable. Recordada por su participación en la edición mexicana de “La Voz” en 2022, donde aprendió que su carrera no solo se trata de su arte, sino también de otros factores que importan al otro lado de la mesa. Comenzó su viaje en el mundo del teatro musical a temprana edad, explorando disciplinas como el tap, jazz, hip-hop, ballet, canto y actuación. Se formó en México, Toronto y finalmente en Nueva York en la American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). Lari enfrentó desafíos durante la pandemia, pero su espíritu competitivo y dedicación la llevaron lejos. Pero hoy por hoy, en “La Llamada”, Lari encuentra un espacio para mostrar su talento y abogar por la representación latina en las artes. Lari Panini es un ejemplo inspirador de perseverancia y pasión en el escenario de Broadway. . . ¡Bienvenidos a este Power Moment para todos los Hispanos! . . .

Conversando con Larisa Fernández, una mexicana de 22 años que usa el nombre artístico de Lari Panini. La meta de Lari ha sido triunfar en la comedia musical en Broadway, Lari conversa con Lorena Mora-Mowry sobre el impacto que le causo ver la obra "Chicago" a los nueve años. Lari habla sobre sus inicios, sus estudios, ser parte del elenco de la puesta local de "La llamada" del Repertorio Español y las agotadoras maratones que requiere conseguir una audición en los castings abiertos de los grandes musicales. El 24 de agosto, Lari dará otro paso importante cuando se estrene "54 Sings a Star is Born", un espectáculo producido por ella en el que se escucharán las canciones de las diferentes versiones de "Nace una estrella", que no solo incluye las que entonó Lady Gaga sino también las que cantaron Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland y Janet Gaynor.
