‘Midnight Tango’ – UK Tourby Rob Howard |
 |
 ‘Midnight Tango’, starring dancers Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace of BBC TV's ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fame, recently began a UK tour. I was fortunate to see a performance at The Lowry Theatre in Salford, Lancashire, on April 18th. The company of ten dancers and the on stage quartet ‘Tango Siempre’, featuring bandoneonist Julian Rowlands, put on a show of dazzling virtuosity. The set is a café in Buenos Aires, and the dancers performed a beautifully choreographed and athletic series of tangos, accompanied by music that was a balanced mix of classic tangos such as ‘La Cumparsita, ‘El Choclo’, ‘A Media Luz’, and ‘Jealousy’, alongside tango nuevo compositions, including Piazzolla’s ‘Oblivion’ and ‘Libertango’, and similar contemporary pieces. The show tells a story, with action rather than dialogue, the atmosphere created is convincing, and the music and dancing are electrifying, passionate and beguiling throughout. The tour dates (some theatres include matinees) are: April 26th to 30th, 7.30pm - Alhambra Theatre, Bradford, West Yorkshire May 3rd to 7th – Lyceum, Sheffield May 10th to 14th, 8pm - New Victoria, Woking, Surrey May 17th to 21st, 7.30pm - Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham May 23rd to 28th, 7.30pm – Birmingham Hippodrome May 31st to June 4th, 7.30pm - Plymouth Pavilions June 7th to 11th, 7.30pm - Sunderland Empire June 14th to 18th - Milton Keynes Theatre June 20th and 21st, 7.30pm – Brighton Centre June 23rd to 25th, 7.30pm - Millennium Centre, Cardiff, Wales June 28th to July 2nd, 7.30pm - Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh, Scotland July 5th to 9th – Norwich Theatre Royal July 12th to 16th, 7.30pm – Bristol Hippodrome July 19th to 23rd – Cliffs Pavilion, Southend July 26th to 30th, 7.30pm King’s Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland |
