I would not go to this show, and I especially would not go if you don't speak Spanish. But it is hard for me to imagine that it would be even a good show if I did speak Spanish.
We expected it would be a Tango dancing dinner show, but there is only about 7 minutes of Tango and about 45 minutes of the "Creator, Producer, and Director" of the show, who I assume is Senor Tango, telling jokes, congratulating dinner guests on their anniversaries, and singing bombastically. There's a few other non-tango dances that are way too over the top and some other songs. The amplification is too loud, adding to the unpleasantness, but no more than some concerts so what can you do. Oh, and there's 2 bucking horses, and its a very small stage.
They have a full video wall and use a camera on a boom to blow up the faces of Senor Tango and his guests to massive scale on the wall. It's like at the ball park where fans are amazed to see themselves on the Jumbotron, only this is far less Jumbo and just as entertaining. If as much effort went into the content of the show as the gimicky Jumbotron wall, it could have been a decent show. The dancers actually seemed pretty good, they just needed longer than a 2 minute number to show their stuff.
The whole show, we were like, where is the Tango? Less Senor, and more Tango please.
Add to this that the part of town is very sketchy and our first cab driver wouldn't take us there, and the second one told us to hide our cell phones and looked very gravely as we exited the cab. If you come on a hotel tour bus its probably fine but we were eating at a restaurant nearby and did not go directly to the hall.
Oh, and the fish restaurant nearby is terrible. Absolutely terrible. But thank god for them because I arrived before they opened and was standing in the street (by the bus depot, vagrants, rows of barred windows, and 2 police officers) and they took me in half an hour before I was meeting my friends there for dinner. We did not eat the food at the show, but it cannot be worse than the fish restaurant.
But this show has earned one star without taking into account the fishiest fish any of us had ever been served and our fear for our safety.
And after all this, if you do actually go to this show, I would recommend getting the dinner at the show because you will have much better seats. The back tables are reserved for the guests who didn't order dinner tickets. read more
