They applaud us and say nice things to us. 'I want to work until I die on stage,' he reflected. Finally, he closed with a significant dedication: 'Thank you to the directors and the audience.' 'Thank you, we are very happy.' My entire career I have done comedy, and it's very difficult when we are typecast in a role. I love what we do, it's tremendous production work,' confessed the actor, highlighting the huge professional challenge it was to step out of his comfort zone to get into the skin of Rocky Balboa. In his speech, Vázquez drew a parallel between the story of the boxer and the effort that the show required: 'It's a play about falling down and getting back up.' 'I believe in signs, in a few hours it is my brother Santi's birthday,' he expressed, visibly moved. To close a night of victory, Vázquez spoke directly to his colleagues and thanked the audience that sells out his shows: 'We are blessed. We do what we love, we have one of the best jobs in the world.' 'Last year was very complicated for us in many aspects. We went after the rights to the movie, nothing more and nothing less than from Sylvester Stallone and the directors,' he recounted about the difficult task of bringing the official franchise to Argentina and making it an attractive show for the audience. But the most emotional moment of the night was when, at the end of his thanks, the actor dedicated the triumph to his late brother: 'I can't believe it. There will be Rocky for a long time'.
