After years of being the dance pros to the stars on "Dancing With the Stars," Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy shine center stage in Broadway's "Forever Tango" which opened Sunday (July 14).
Of course they have wracked up tons of awards and everyone knows who the true dancing talent is on the ABC show, but to see them unfettered by those who can't dance, and owning the stage at the limited engagement at the Walter Kerr Theatre is a huge treat.
Not a word is spoken during the show; none are needed.
It is more of a recital with different couples each performing classical Argentine tango.
An 11-piece orchestra, including four accordion players, stays on the bare stage. Five-time Grammy winner Gilberto Santa Rosa, a hugely popular singer in the Latino market, breaks up the dance numbers, singing in Spanish. The crowd cheered when "The Gentleman of Salsa," entered, and he's terrific.

Photos: Behind the Scenes at 'Forever Tango' “It’s definitely not easy,” the 35-year-old ballroom dancer tells The Hollywood Reporter. “But we actually want to learn and do tango the proper way.

New York – The show is called Forever Tango, and they weren’t kidding with that title. Two-and-a-quarter hours really is a lot of tango time. Like similar revues Tango Argentino and Tango Pasion, this Broadway summer filler’s main challenge is to inject variation into an entertainment built entirely around a single sultry dance tradition, defined by its heightened sense of melodramatic sizzle. But creator-director Luis Bravo’s worldwide hit addresses the fatigue issue by steadily cranking up the degree of difficulty in the routines as the marathon progresses. First seen in 1994, the show returns at a
