WPCNR STAGE DOOR. From Oscar Sales, Jr. April 28, 2005 (EDITED): The passion of Tango! The sensuality of West Coast Swing! A heartbreaking love story! Breathtaking choreography! All add up to make SWANGO a thrilling theatrical event!
With a story by multiple Tony Award-winning author Rupert Holmes, the amazing choreography Robert Royston, 4-time International Swing Dance Champion and choreographer of Broadway’s SWING!, and FOREVER TANGO choreographer/performer Mariela Franganillo, SWANGO is a Romeo & Juliet-style love story set in the world of dance, where emotions and egos run rampant. SWANGO is a hit with audiences and critics alike. It begins its run at White Plains Performing Arts Center Friday at 8 P.M. Here's what the critics are saying:
The Critics are raving:
The Scarsdale Inquirer –
“’SWANGO’ is hot! The music will have you groovin’ in your seat, and a new script by Rupert Holmes kicks it up a notch. ‘SWANGO’ combines the passion of the tango with the sexy sizzle of swing in a new dance show that will leave you wanting to head for the ballroom or the bedroom!”
The Journal News –
“As the title implies, the result is a magical synthesis. The dancers of both traditions are thrilling. Sensuous moves, beautiful spins and amazing lifts come one after another. Tango alternates with swing, couples switch with multiple pairs, and men and women have their times alone. It’s all mesmerizing.”
The New York Times –
“Tango, the dance of florid romance, epitomizing elegance, glamour, glitter and grace. It’s a giant leap to swing: fast, freewheeling, not dressed up at all. Put them together and you get ‘SWANGO,’ a new musical assured enough to bill it as a musical event.”
Don’t let the heat and passion of SWANGO pass you by. SWANGO opens this weekend at the White Plains Performing Arts Center and plays for only 10 performances! April 29-May 8. Tickets are $32.50-$45. For details or more information, call the Box Office at (888) 977-2250 or visit our web site at http://www.wppac.com
The White Plains Performing Arts Center is located in Downtown White Plains in the City Center complex – 3 floors above Target, 1 floor above Filene’s Basement and next to the Cinema De Lux movie theatres.
