Tango House, The Show



The audience is the best judge of success: it explodes with applause after each number of this show, punctuated with cheers of “Bravo!”

Most of the Cast and managers of the Tango House posing in New York's Times Square. With the cast members Hector Pablo Pereyra, Carolina Jaurena, Andres Bravo, Maria Blanco, Jorge Torres, Leah Barsky, Ayelen Pais Negrin, Leonardo Luizaga, Adriana Salgado Neira, Orlando Reyes, Zoya Altmark, and Michael Nadtochi . 

From the romantic Tango Waltz to the traditional Tango numbers, filled with glowing passion and playfulness, to the vocals and musical numbers performed by a typical Tango orchestra, the show tantalizes the senses and keeps the audience electrified, energized and glued to their seats.

This tango show, now recreated in New York, has been featured at the renowned La Esquina Carlos Gardel Theater in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the past 12 years and has been viewed by over 1.8 million people. The show is a 75-minute live tango performance featuring dancing couples, musicians and singers. This is the first time La Esquina Carlos Gardel is showcased in the U.S. and Tango House is the only venue in the U.S. where to see it. Its producer, Juan Fabbri, is the foremost impresario of tango and 25-time winner of the prestigious Martin Fierro Award, granted by APTRA, the Association of Argentine Television and Radio Journalists.

The 75-minute show is a cultural milestone that brought together in New York City some of the most accomplished professional dancers, singers and musicians, trained from their early childhoods in Argentina, Russia, Colombia and Israel. The Malbec Tango House theater is situated near the NYU Manhattan campus at Astor Place, with the bar in the foyer, the audience seated mostly at the tables enjoying the drinks from the bar, if they so choose.  After the show many in the audience stay to dine at Malbec House restaurant, upstairs. The Show is everything you’d expect from Argentine Tango and then some, emphasizing the harmony of music, lyrics and dance, the fluid sculptures of sensuality, drama and joy, beauty and passion, unique to Tango.

To visit the New York City and not to see this off-Broadway show would be a cardinal sin, and even more so if you live in the city's 5 boroughs. The show is on, six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday, at: TANGO HOUSE, 428 Lafayette Street (between 4th St & Astor Place), New York, NY 10003.
