Sunday, May 25 marked the early end of El Mito, the play directed by José María Muscari which paid tribute to Mirtha Legrand. The decision to cancel it was neither artistic nor economic: it was familial.
Nacho Viale, producer and grandson of the legendary host, requested the cancellation after seeing a promotional poster that, according to him, misled the public. In that image, Muscari and Mirtha Legrand appeared together.
Viale's circle interpreted that the poster could suggest that Mirtha was participating in the play, which was not true. That potential confusion was the trigger for the conflict.
The reaction of the circle and Viale's request
Adrián Pallares revealed on Intrusos (América TV) that Viale considered the advertisement as "misleading." In his view, the presence of the photo could make the public believe that Mirtha would be present or have some role in the production.
