Her first big acting role was in Les Miserables, which made her enjoy being an actress. It was the norm to bring productions such as Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables to Argentina. A comedienne by trade, the gritty role forced her to look deep within herself and release some dark emotions which she really enjoyed doing. Hailing from an Italian background also, her main perogative was to do a one woman show about an Italian singer, a show which she took to Italy. The show won Best Musical and Elena won Best Actress in a musical. Elena describes the one woman show as her daughter or son.
