THIS SHOW WAS AMAZING! There was a nice turnout. The show was good and the audience gave a standing ovation at the end. The dancers were fantastic, the musicians very good and the singer was opera quality. The costumes were exotic. All and all it was first class!
We need more of this high quality entertainment on a regular basis; perhaps once a month. It was nice to have an excuse to get dressed up. Well, at least a dress. I meant to wear shoes but forgot to put them on.
The Paradise Theater is very nice - well tiered so that you look over the heads of the row in front of you. I purchased 'reserved' tickets. This did not mean reserved seats, just that the lowest 8 rows were ours.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to dress-up a bit and make a night out of it, island residents came out to enjoy the three-time world champion tango dancers. Featuring four dance couples blessed with grace and stunning dance moves, live music and beautiful Spanish ballads performed between dances, the evening offered something for everyone.
According to event organizers, the well-attended performances were a rare cultural experience that they hope to see more of in San Pedro.
