The second Broadway return engagement of Luis Bravo’s crowd-pleasing Argentinean dance revue Forever Tango celebrated its opening night at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Sunday, July 14. Following the performance, the cast, led by salsa singer Gilberto Santa Rosa and Dancing with the Stars hoofers Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, headed to Buca di Beppo for the post-show party. On hand to cheer for the company were Dancing favorites Ralph Macchio and Tony Dovolani, as well as Debbie Matenopoulos and Benoit-Swan Pouffer, among others.
