We went last night (Brighton) and it was fantastic. So much better than the Strictly Tour, which we found a bit false. This was a solid 2 hours of dancing and very well put together.
The set was very clever, with screens moving out every now and again to show video clips of Len, Bruno and Craig discussing the dances. Plus a hilarious tribute to some of the "classic Pasos" from Strictly.
The dancers all took it in turn to introduce the next act, and James had a running theme of "who wears the trousers ?" with Ola.
The mix of dance was perfect, with classic ballroom mixed in with some lighthearted jitterbug/jive and disco.
Great costumes, great band and singers and a good venue.

Altogether one of the best nights out I've had in ages.

Suggestion to others going to the Brighton Centre - the restaurant in the building does a good 2 course with wine pre-show dinner for 19.50. There's very limited choice, but it was all very tasty and brought to your table instantly so there was no hanging about. You probably need to book.

Sounds about right to me.”

Spoiler
I think you were almost right, but James and Ola don't dance the Foxtrot, so that choreography must be Brian and Kristina, leaving James and Ola with the Cha Cha

Thanks for the report. I'm seeing the show in a week and reading all these reports is making me even more excited!

I went last night as well (well I was dragged along a little bit) and I really enjoyed it

A really fun evening, with great production values, and the dancing was superb

I agree that the introduction video to the Paso's was hilarious

From what I heard from conversations during the interval, it was received better that the standard SCD tour

I was also there last night and it was fantastic. Even my OH who just came to keep me company was really impressed - it was far better than we both expected - non-stop from beginning to end - we were on a high at the end.

I would go again if I got a chance - great value for money and leaves you with a real feel good factor! ENJOY

OMG it was awesome!

V & F's AT, N & I's waltz - real tear jerkers for me, but the whole show was fabulous. We had an amazing time - if you haven't got tickets for this show already and can get some for a show near you, DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

The pro dancers are more than amazing without the lump of a celeb attached to their arms!

I'm going but not until JUNE and its still toooo far away! I want to go NOW!

I'm really wanting to see V & F Argentine Tango. I watched the videos and it looks spectacular, so cant wait to see it live.

As Saz says it was just brilliant and I take back anything I said about Natalie Lowe during the last series - she was brilliant! She is the perfect partner for Ian.
