Description
When Frank Met Carlitos: An Imaginary Encounter
This Musical tells the supposed meeting that Carlos Gardel and Frank Sinatra had in NYC around 1934. The show includes Gardel's best tangos, sung in Spanish and English. The play won 7 Hugo Awards, including Best Musical.
According to legend, in 1934 Gardel was performing on NBC in New York when a young admirer approached him, eager to meet the "great baritone from the River Plate," who was none other than 19-year-old Frank Sinatra.
That starting point triggered a very attractive idea: the night in which Gardel and Sinatra were locked in a dressing room... Gardel, trying to get his annoying fan off his back. Sinatra, trying to understand the passion he perceived in Zorzal's songs... The two, starting a friendship that would last forever.
The women, the friends, the neighborhood, the game, the lunfardo, the good and the bad company are just some of the themes that Carlitos and Frank cover while they interpret the best of the Gardelian repertoire in the style and language of the Mudo, and in the style and language of the Voice.

Positivo en general
Contentos con la experiencia, aunque no todo fue perfecto. De todo el recorrido, Escena es lo que más recuerdo. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Lo único mejorable fue la espera al inicio, arrancamos unos veinte minutos tarde. Buena opción, sobre todo si es tu primera visita.

Would do it again
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. The guide made the difference, you could tell they love the job. I compared prices before booking and this was the best deal. Slick logistics, clearly done every day. I did not expect 1 ticket for Platea location to be included, a nice bonus. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Buenos Aires.

Dia incrível
Impecável, não tenho nenhuma ressalva. Sai mais que fazer solto, mas poupa toda a organização. Saiu no horário, sem sustos. Passar por Tangos já valeu o tour todo. Recomendo para qualquer idade.

Worth every penny
Worth far more than what it costs. The guide knew exactly what to include, it never dragged. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. Award ended up in all our photos.
