Fun....fabulous....the costumes (wow)...the sets (wow)...the dancing (wow)...the script (hilarious)...the actors (amazing)...the characters each allowed to shine (and they did)...the singing (each word clear)...orchestra (wonderful but alas they have never seen the show, hidden there under the stage but most impressive), did I mention the costumes. And finally the wonderful music by Irvning Berlin. A night out doesn't get any better... More

The show was terrific. Polished singing and dancing and a great cast. The sets were superb and the whole show was very well done and lots of fun. The theatre was lovely and felt very old world. The seats had a god view (even though we were up with the gods!), but they were very cramped and hard and by... More

This review is more about the show than the theatre! Midnight Tango was amazing. Flavia and Vincent superb, as were all the dancers and if you like Argentine Tango , it's a "must see"! Loved it ! More

Vincent and Flavia were amazing in this production of Argentinian dancing, quite took your breath away. Our seats were £10 on a special deal, down from £50. We were seated very high up, Grand Balcony, to me it was locally what we call the gods. Not good if you suffer from vertigo! More
