Ernesto D'Alessio Stuns in "Mentidrags" by Channeling Mother Lupita D'Alessio

Singer Ernesto D'Alessio delivered a show-stopping performance at the Teatro Aldama, embodying his legendary mother, Lupita D'Alessio, during an encore of the musical "Mentidrags." Dressed in a striking red gown, he captivated the audience by performing his mother's classic 1980s ballad, "Leona dormida," with remarkable vocal accuracy and emotional depth.

D'Alessio recently joined the cast of "Mentidrags," a musical that uses iconic 80s hits to weave a tale of love and betrayal among four women and one man. Throughout the show, he sported flamboyant 80s-inspired costumes, complete with shoulder pads and voluminous hair. However, for his transformation into his mother, he adopted a shorter hairstyle, slicked-back with a side part, and makeup that closely resembled Lupita D'Alessio's iconic look. His vocal performance mirrored his mother's distinct style, earning him a prolonged standing ovation.
