About the show


In 1982, many years after their triumph on Broadway with Hector Orezzoli and Claudio Segovia’s legendary Tango Argentino, the producer Mel Howard and José Libertella (co-director with Luis Stazo of the Orchestra Sexteto Mayor) decided to create a new, totally different tango spectacle, which would be much more than just a variety show.

Mel Howard and José Libertella, accompanied by the choreographer Hector Zaraspe and the painter Ricardo Carpani, spent many months in Buenos Aires creating a show which weaved together many different tango stories. They uncovered a cast of fabulous dancers who also represented the full range of Argentine society.

The result was Tango Pasión, which began life in a modest theatre in Miami, Florida, moving next to Broadway and then the rest of the world.

During two hours, the dancers of the Tango Pasión show let you discover the passion of the Argentinian Tango to the music of the 2003 Latin Grammy Award winner orchestra Sexteto Mayor.
