I'm a big sucker for tango numbers in Broadway shows, especially when they are anachronistic as hell. My faves are the dance break from canaan days in JATADC and Hernandos Hodeaway. Does anybody know of any obscure tango numbers from either on or off Broadway musicals?

This one isn’t from a stage show but “Horny Angry Tango” on the CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is my absolute favorite take on the tango trope, it’s hilarious and well-performed.
