Actress Jennifer Lopez will take on the role that Sônia Braga immortalized on film in the musical remake of “Kiss of the Spider Woman”.

Trying to escape his miserable life, Molina invents stories about Aurora (Braga’s character in the film and J.Lo’s character in the remake), a former movie star, and the various roles she has played, including Spider-Woman, who kills its prey. with a kiss.
The new version will be written and directed by musical theater specialist Bill Condon, screenwriter of “Chicago” and director of “Dreamgirls” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
