Called a "must see" by the New York Times, Luis Bravo's Forever Tango features a cast of 14 world-class dancers, a vocalist and an 11-piece, on-stage orchestra, anchored by the bandoneón, the accordion-like instrument that is the mainstay of tango music. Through music, dance and vignettes, the production traces the tango's colorful history, from its beginnings in turn-of-the-century Buenos Aires bordellos to its acceptance into high society. The original production took San
Francisco by storm in 1994 where it played an unprecedented 92 weeks.

In June of 1997, Forever Tango opened on Broadway where it played for 14 months and earned rave reviews from critics. The show garnered multiple Tony® and Drama Desk Award nominations, and became the longest-running tango show in Broadway history - an honor it still holds today.
