Dancing with the Stars goes on the road

drew lachey; dancing with the starsDancing with the Stars is getting a roadshow. Celebrities paired with real dancers will tour 38 U.S. cities, starting with San Diego on Dec. 19th. Celebrity contestants include Drew Lachey, Joey Lawrence, Willa Ford, Harry Hamlin (what?!?), Lisa Rinna and Joey McIntyre.

Why would anyone want to see this live? Absent-mindedly watching this on a Tuesday night is one thing... but actually paying cash to see mediocre dancers? American Idol does the same thing-- it sends mediocre singers on an American tour each year. I think the difference is the demogaphics.

Would you pay to watch Dancing with the Stars if they visited your town?

I saw the show last night in San Diego. It was fantastic. More than I expected. Well worth the money.

OOOPS !! Add this. Just discovered the show will be in Illinois. The show will be on my Wedding Anniversary. This will be my gift to my husband, who also loves the show, and perhaps a couple of friends.

I was hoping the show was coming to Chicago, (the closest is Indiana). I'd love to see it. Great Show !
Could do without the one Judge Len.

I live three blocks from the show and I won't walk over there. Do they really need the money?

I would *definitely* go as long as it's in my price range. My mom and I both love the show, so it would be something fun we could go see together. You get attached to some of the dancers by following their stories and struggles through the season, so it's more about seeing *them* and not about seeing top-quality dancing. I think DWtS is just a show you either get or you don't get and you can't really explain the appeal to people who don't get it. I'm fully aware that it's cheesy and campy and ridiculous, which is part of the reason I love the show.

If Ashley Delgrosso is there, I'm in. Beautiful, caring, great dancer. Wow.

Dancing with the Stars Live would only be worth it if Stacy Keebler is there.

It depends in the prices. If it's reasonably cheap, then maybe I'll go. But if it's anywhere near AI prices, then no.

As far as American Idol goes... This year was my first year going to a concert, but I would hardly call the singers (sans Bucky) mediocre singers. Especially people like Mandisa, Paris, Taylor, Kat... Chris isn't a "singer", but he's definately not just a mediocre hard-rock screamer!
