"It takes two to tango, but who gets the last dance?"
An award winning musical!! Andreya's a dancer, Logan's a poet. They both have very different ideas about love. But will they realize they're IN love? Logan wants to give her the perfect poem before he can give her himself... but can he resist her when she dances The Soviet Tango? Can anyone? Great songs, fun for all ages.
The Soviet Tango is the winner of an "Arts For Life" special achievement award for the musical score, for innovative contributions to local community theatre.
