“…the tour succeeded in its display of stellar designs, dynamic talents, and a wide range of acts,” Broadway World gushed about “DWTS Live” in a review of last year’s tour. “…[they find] great balance in [their] performances, knowing when to heighten the mood into an lively, fast paced group number, as well as when to slow it down into a sultry, romantic partner dance.”
They reported that artists’ music like “Gloria Estefan, Queen, Missy Elliot, Justin Timberlake, Elvis Presley, SZA, Chris Stapleton, and Frank Sinatra were only a small fraction of those featured” that evening last year.
