Saw the matinee yesterday. By the end of the first half I felt relaxed it had the feeling of having been in a hotel bar watching the entertainment. The show comprises of a series of tango duets interspersed with a singer and group choreography,.
The second half fet more like being at an evening performance and the pace and choreography more exciting.
When the musicians performed on their own it was exquisite and brought me to tears.
The costumes are colourful, the dancers elegant, graceful skilful (and the male dancers were hot as a bonus)
The style of dancing is very intimate. Their timing was amazing as their feet intervove.
Very enjoyable afternoon and I am grateful to this site for alerting me to something I wouldnt have gone to see otherwise.
The theatre is Peacock Theatre Kingsway- a few minutes walk from Holborn tube.
This site has a special offer which I didnt see until after I had booked- but you can get a multibuy discount with the theatre.
By the way the singing was in Spanish I think ( I only learnt French and German at school) but I found it didnt matter that I couldnt translate it as the singer was superb to listen to.
I know I could be a lion tamer,
