As we approach the semi-final next week, the post season 5 Tour is talking place in December, and I wondered if you were conveniently planning to be in America at that time, or have relatives or friends who have booked to see the live show?

Sabrina and Mark ofcourse are included in the cast list.

I guess that Mel has the SG Tour, so is unavailable.

Any other pairings you've heard about, or if you have tickets, could you post a review?

I thought we could follow the tour via this thread, with pics and reports and articles all linked here. Cheers!

Oh I wish! I hate flying & I hate airports - it's enough for me to go away once a year. (I take anti-anxiety & sleeping pills ).
I know Hubby has started watching SCD with me but I think even he would draw the line at going on holiday to see DWTS cast (which he does not watch cos he hates all the "hooplah" as he calls it & did n't know most of the celebs).
I wish the UK lot did a proper tour, I'd go & see that with or without him .

There is an SCD tour next year. I'm going.

Anyway, according to that site the dancers are:

Celebs:
Drew Lachey
Joey Lawrence
Marie Osmond
Monique Coleman
Sabrina Bryan
Wayne Newton

Pros:
Alec Mazo
Mark Ballas
Bryan Fortuna
Cheryl Burke
Derek Hough
Edyta Sliwinska
Jonathan Roberts
Kym Johnson
Louis Van Amstel

So it will presumably be:
Louis and Monique
Kym and either Drew or Wayne (whoever Cheryl isn't dancing with, they did this on the last tour)
Edyta and Joey
Derek and ?
Cheryl and either Drew or Wayne (she danced with both of them)
Jonathan and Marie
Alec and ?
Mark and Sabrina
Brian and ?

So there may be up to three female celebs added but the male celebs are about right.

It has:
Zoe Ball
Leticia Dean
Christopher Parker
Matt DiAngelo
Darren Gough
Denise Lewis
Louisa Lytton
and more celebs that haven't been announced yet (I think 1 male, that will even out celebs and pros).

On the pro side of things:
Darren and Lilia
Vincent and Flavia
Matthew and Nicole
Camilla and Ian

I got my tickets from ticketzone, but they're available from a few places. It is on January-February 2008. Len, Craig and Arlene will be travelling with the tour as judges, and Kate Thornton will be presenting.

I don't know how you missed it, it's been an active topic on the forum! Should still be able to get tickets though

Chris Parker!
I don't know how I missed it either, I have been avoiding lots of threads cos I did not want to get spoilers but I'm still surprised I did n't see it anywhere.
I was hoping James & Ola would be on it, is it cos they are competing?
I'll have to go & do a search now to see if any venues are near us.
Thanks for the info.

It will be at these arenas:
SECC Glasgow
Newcastle Metro Radio Arena
Wembley Arena
Nottingham Arena
Manchester Evening News Arena
Sheffield Arena
The NEC Arena Birmingham

Full list of dates here.

I don't know why the remaining pros aren't in the show, but I would say it is possible that they would turn up at the shows near where they are based if that makes sense, that happens quite a lot.

I can't believe Wayne Newton is doing the tour. I've got a feeling he'll be doing more singing than dancing.

Only a couple of the dates are sold out. Or if you want better seats you could try ebay, which I where I sold my tickets

So you really did sell them Stell LOL!
(I'm not going anyway).

QQ - Thanks for the DWTS Tour List.
Re Kym & Cheryl - Cheryl will surely be with Drew, as they're past winners, and height matched.
Poor Kym will have to be matched with Wayne based on height, as she's the tallest female pro, and way too tall for Drew. Oh dear, looks like the Las Vegas Legend will be singing aswell. Quick, stock up on black hairdye!

I'd still love to go though, just to see all the pros live.

Looks like the Dance Wars live Show will be on after the Tour then, as Drew is presenting that - the auditions have already been filmed. (with Bruno and CAI).

Wayne Newton is not a great dancer but he is a great entertainer so I have no doubt that he will put on a good show with that side of things Wonder who the other celebs are going to be, for DWTS and Strictly.

(For SCD, it looks like Camilla is the pro without a partner. Perhaps James? I'd like that.)

Yep, wasn't happy with the line up. I brought front row tickets for Sunday and got a friend to sell those.
Not sure what to do with the Saturday ones. It will essentially be a free trip, good especially as I initally paid for both tickets

I've just read Wayne has got a heart problem so won't be dancing at the finale but he'll be okay to do the tour.

I was initially thinking James might do the tour, I always get the impression that he was keen to carry on dancing.
I'm holding onto a set of tickets just in case there's a small chance Matt Dawson is dancing or making a guest appearance.

Ooh, thanks for the article. Cardiomyopathy can be a very serious condition, so hope he'll be alright for the Tour. Wasn't I mean joking about him earlier.

Ooh, poor Wayne!

I would love it if Matt made a guest appearance! The only other reality tour I've been to was the DOI tour and Kyran Bracken couldn't perform becuase of a dodgy curry and he was the person I most wanted to see so I'm hoping everyone will be okay this time round.

I've booked tickets for Manchester Arena, we are going to stay in an hotel nearby the night before & then drive across to the Wirral to see the in-laws after the show (I got the matinee).
NB I'm soo glad Bruno is not going to be there - he is driving me nuts with his histrionics lately. I expect he'll be in the States doing his new show.

I laughed, oops
Hope he makes a swift recovery

Oh once I saw Darren/Lilia & Vincent/Flavia are doing it I was on a mission . Hubby's credit card at the ready & fingers doing the walking (I told him it's my Valentine's pressie). We got quite good seats too which I was shocked about, seeing as I left it so late.
Hubby is a bit upset Ola is not going to be there but I'm sure he'll enjoy the other ladies & I'll make it up to him .

I saw the DWS tour last July.

It was fantastic and highly recommended.

No it was pure luck that the tour was in Orlando when I happened to be there.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

What was particularly good about the show was that Joey McIntyre, Drew and Joey Fatone are all good singers therefore not only did we have the great dancing but also some production numbers with them singing as well.
