Critical response
editEl País's Raquel Vidales praised the show's music, singers, set design and dancers, but was not complimentary of the script.[9] ElDebate.com's Maria Serrano described the songlist as "boring".[10]
Cinemagavia.es's review concluded that the show was a technical, if not an artistic success.[11]
Documentary
editA Netflix documentary, "Making Malinche: A Documentary by Nacho Cano", on the development of the show was produced in 2021.[12] The documentary provides "behind-the-scenes" insights into the production and development of the show "Malinche", which was created by Nacho Cano.
Controversy
editIn July 2024 the director of the play, Nacho Cano, was arrested for allegedly hiring irregular migrants for the musical 'Malinche'[13].The musician subsequently held a press conference in which he accused the police of being criminals. The Spanish railway company Renfe cancelled the agreement with Malinche the following day because of possible reputational damage as a result of these statements. In its statement, Renfe referred to the "alleged violation of workers' rights".[14]
