In a year of Broadway history making shows such as Soul of Shaolin another breath-taking musical hit has come from another country for a limited showing in New York. Tanguera, the Tango Musical is one of the biggest hits in Argentina right now, and is certain to be just as big in the US. The musical book is written by Dolores Espeja and Diego Romay with music by Gerardo Gardelin and lyrics by Eladia Blazquez. It is directed by Omar Pacheco and produced by Diego Romay.
The musical tells the story of two young people, Giselle a French immigrant and Lorenzo a dock worker. Giselle is deceived by a prostitution ring, and arrives at the Port of Bruenos Aires hoping for a better life and meets Lorenzo and they fall in love at first sight. But Giselle is forced into prostitution and made to become a nightclub singer by Guadencio, a local gang leader. The story progresses as Lorenzo must fight to win Giselle and rescue her from the clutches of Guadencio. After working as a prostitute for some time Giselle becomes a celebrated cabaret tango star, a "tanguera."
This musical has not just gained notoriety in its native Argentina, but it has also become famous in Spain, where it inspired a passionate interest in the tango. It has also been celebrated in China, Mexico City, Tokyo, Santiago, and Berlin. It is an international hit that has inspired wide-spread passion and interest in the medium of dance, particularly the tango. Much of this interest is due to the incredible skill of the musical's choreographer Mora Godoy who has been called the Queen of Tango. Godoy also has performed the leading role in the musical.
Tanguera was first seen in theatre in 2002, when the musical debuted at the El Nancional in January of that year. From there it went to the city of Santiago in Chile, in August of the same year, where it appeared on the stage at the Municipal de Santiago. In 2003 it traveled to Madrid, Espana (Spain) and appeared for a season at the Nuevo Tetro Alcala, then on to China where it appeared at the Teatro Tianqiao in Beijing and the Gran Teatro de Shangai in Shanghai.
In 2004 it did a tour of cities in Argentina and also appeared for a short time in Mexico, returning in 2005 to do a more full tour of that country. It appeared in Germany for the first time in 2006, in the city of Hamburg. In 2007 it played in Argentina again and in Berlin, but then went on to Moscow, Russia. And in 2008 it appeared in Tokyo, Switzerland, and again in Spain. 2009 marks the first year that the musical will be on American soil.
