Spanish actress Lara Dibildos is set to star alongside Patricio "Roscón" Vallejo-Nágera in a new holiday musical titled after the young actor. The production will officially premiere during the December holiday weekend inside a specially designed tent next to the La Vaguada shopping center in Madrid.

Roscón, the 18-year-old son of chef and former television judge Samantha Vallejo-Nágera, will make his professional acting debut in the upcoming show. Known widely across Spain through his mother's social media channels, Roscón expressed his desire earlier this year to pursue a career as a musical actor or influencer, a dream that is now becoming a reality.

In the production, Dibildos portrays the mother of the main character, Bruno, whom she describes as a practical and initially anti-Christmas figure who evolves throughout the story. The actress shared her excitement for taking on her first children's theatrical project, noting that the show incorporates humor tailored for both children and adults.

"It is going to hook children with a great Christmas story, but from time to time in the dialogue, the ones who will die of laughter are the parents," Dibildos stated during a press presentation. She also praised her young co-star, emphasizing that despite a large ensemble cast, Roscón remains the central figure of the stage.

The inclusive theatrical project features collaboration from DOWN España. Agustín Matía, the managing director of the organization, highlighted the significance of the casting during the press conference, stating that such initiatives emphasize the importance of equality and inclusion for people with Down syndrome in all areas, including arts, leisure, and entertainment.

Beyond her upcoming role on stage, Dibildos is experiencing a positive period in her personal life, noting her happiness at having both of her sons, Fran and Álvaro, back in Spain after spending time studying and pursuing athletic careers abroad. She also maintains a stable relationship with her partner, Carlos Maturana, and enjoys cordial ties with her former partners.

For Roscón, the theatrical debut marks the realization of a lifelong ambition. During the press event, the young actor expressed his excitement and nervousness, while his mother looked on proudly. The performance run will extend through January 7, coinciding with Roscón's birthday.
