Dancing With The Stars by Craig Sjodin/ABC
See your favorites, if not up close, certainly in person: Dancing with the Stars celebs and their professional partners will twirl their way through 37 North American cities on a winter tour starting Nov. 18.
Wayne Newton, Marie Osmond, Sabrina Bryan, Karina Smirnoff, Drew Lachey, Joey Lawrence, Monique Coleman, Cheryl Burke, Edyta Sliwinska, Kym Johnson, Mark Ballas, Jonathan Roberts, Derek Hough, Alec Mazo, Brian Fortuna and others will kick off the traveling event, SoftScrub® Presents Dancing with the Stars, at Key Arena in Seattle, Washington.
The third Dancing with the Stars tour features a rotating cast of popular competitors, in new combinations: Dancers from previous seasons will trip the light fantastic with those from the current season. New pairs include Wayne Newton with Cheryl Burke, Marie Osmond with Jonathan Roberts, and Sabrina Bryan with Mark Ballas; Season 3's Joey Lawrence with Edyta Sliwinska and Monique Coleman; professional dancers Derek Hough, Alec Mazo and Brian Fortuna; as well as special appearances throughout the tour from Season 2's winner, Drew Lachey.
In addition to dancing, Wayne Newton will give audiences — who attend the select shows Newton dances in — a special treat: a musical performance. Surprise guest stars from previous and current seasons will make appearances as well.
The two-hour show features a larger-than-life re-creation of the TV show's actual stage and set design — complete with intimate cabaret-style VIP table seating on the floor, allowing fans unprecedented sightlines to all the action. Fans can visit iloveallaccess.com for information to VIP seating.
As with the network show, each dance number is accompanied by a live band. Two giant video screens to the left and right of the stage will show never-before-seen rehearsal footage, behind-the-scenes interviews and outtakes. Dancing with the Stars alum Louis Van Amstel will serve as choreographer.
