Tango After Dark returns to London after its sold-out run in 2018, allowing audiences to experience the intoxicating world of Buenos Aires nightlife, where passion, drama and desire are brought vividly to life through the most sensual of dances: the Argentine tango. Witness tango as it was meant to be experienced: raw, intimate, and irresistibly seductive.

Germán Cornejo, Artistic Director, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be returning to the Peacock Theatre and to London, a city that truly feels like a second home to me after so many years. Tango After Dark is one of my favourite shows, it celebrates traditional tango at its very best, with passion, elegance and live music at its heart. I can’t wait to share it with London audiences once again.”

Tango After Dark will play at the Peacock Theatre from 14-18 April. It will follow the new musical I'm Every Woman: The Chaka Khan Musical, which plays until 28 March.
