Full of Energy
by cseldon on 4/28/24Ovens Auditorium - CharlotteAfter being a huge Derek Hough fan for years, I was so excited about his Symphony of Dance show. Living in a small city, the options were limited for an appropriate venue. So I was thrilled when he added on shows after the unfortunate medical scare and understandable hiatus. The Charlotte show was full of energy and excitement and the music and dancers were spectacular. However, it felt a little too much like the Derek Hough show. A bit too much 'look at me, I can dance AND play every instrument ANC sing, AND there really isn't anything I can do'. But I suppose he was the star of the show and that made sense. He was, however, as charming, warm and complimentary of his castmates as I expected him to be and as he appears on television and social media. Bottom line is that I had a Derek Hough itch, I scratched it, it felt great, and now I can cross it off my bucket list.
