Luis Angel El Flaco

Latin singer Luis Angel El Flaco headlines Palladium Times Square, a rare Broadway-block marquee for a Spanish-language dance night.

Spanish-language headline shows rarely get a Times Square marquee, so a Luis Angel date on the Broadway block is a small event in itself. The Palladium is a large flexible room with no fixed seating, which means the floor becomes a dancefloor with very little encouragement and this audience needs none. If your Friday plan is a Spanish-language night out in the dead centre of Manhattan, this is the option.

What to expect

A large standing room off the Broadway block with a bar along the side and a floor that becomes a dance space early. The crowd dresses up and arrives in groups, and the night runs later than the door time suggests. Expect the singalongs to be loud and word-perfect.

Good to know

  • Take any Times Square line to 42nd Street; the venue entrance is on the Broadway block.
  • This is a standing-room show rather than a seated concert.
  • The set runs late, so factor the subway home into your plans.
  • Photo ID is checked at the door as with any bar-served venue.
  • Times Square crowds are heaviest right at arrival time, so allow extra minutes on the approach.
