Tango Moderno, the irresistible stage spectacular from tango
superstars Vincent
Simone and Flavia Cacace, is at Milton Keynes Theatre until Saturday 18th
November. This week starring dancers, Pasquale La Rocca and Leonel Di Cocco in place of Vincent as
he has sustained a back injury. Don’t worry, he is Ok and will back on stage as
soon as he has recovered!
Put the
music on and dance before you die! A line from the show and echoes the age old
saying ‘life’s too short’. If you’ve always wished you could dance, maybe now’s the
time to take inspiration and start a new hobby? Singing, Dancing, acting,
playing an instrument – you could be inspired to take on any of these after
watching Tango Monderno. As Flavia and Co dance their magic across the stage,
illuminating their peers into their own dances and living their dreams.
A modern fusion of traditional Argentinian Tango,
ballroom and Latin with street dance. An excellent performance from all the
dancers with each routine exquisitely performed and I loved how the routines and
songs showcased each situation and how each scene merged perfectly from one to
the next. Narrated by Tom Parsons, a fantastic guitarist and talented singer, told
us the story both poetically and through song. Supporting Tom, Rebecca Lisewski
jumps from energetic dance routines into a belting ballad - her rendition of
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face was particularly spine tingling.
The same stage set was used throughout and was
effective with the use of a few key props although I was a little disappointed
that the musicians were hidden at the back – the music is so important in dance
so I think it would be nice to show off the musicians - though the fiddler did
pop out for a couple of solos and he was excellent!
Bla bla bla, cha cha cha! Not one to miss. For
