Producers Arlene Phillips and Adam Spiegel are delighted with ticket sales, which have now reached £2 million for the limited season West End run and the nationwide tour. Arlene said: “For a first-time producer, having a show opening in the West End is a dream, but having a show starring Vincent and Flavia, a phenomenal company of dancers and ticket sales through the roof is more than I could ever have hoped for.”
Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace say they are "delighted that Midnight Tango has been so well received in the West End… we are both looking forward to performing at the Aldwych Theatre for ten weeks, before the next UK tour."
Midnight Tango is set in a late-night bar in downtown Buenos Aires, and sees former world champions Vincent and Flavia joined on stage by some of the finest tango dancers in the world, including Diomar Giraldo, Yaisuri Salamanca, Alexandra Wood, Guillermo Torrens, Jenny Nolan, Daniel Raphael, Richard Manuel, Pauline Reibell and Leandro Palou and Romina Godoy, and actors Teddy Kempner and Tricia Deighton.
Midnight Tango is directed by Olivier Award-winning choreographer Karen Bruce, who has choreographed for both “Strictly Come Dancing” and “So You Think You Can Dance” on BBC 1, and whose theatre credits include Pacific Overtures (Donmar Warehouse) and Footloose (West End and UK Tour). The show’s choreography is by Vincent and Flavia, design is by Morgan Large, lighting by James Whiteside and sound by Gareth Owen. The live music is provided by top tango band, Tango Siempre, featuring vocalist Miguel Angel.
Performances take place at 7.30pm, from Monday to Saturday, and at 3pm on Thursday and Saturday. Tickets are priced at from £26 to £56 (plus booking fee). See www.midnighttango.co.uk for more information or call the box office at the Aldwych Theatre on 0870 4000 805.
