This event was two hours of my life that I can never have back. Yes, it was that much of a waste of time, money, and energy. It was a disappointment of epic proportions. While I in no way question the energy and effort of our Olympic teams, I seriously question the effort and creativity that those who managed and designed this event put into it.
-No indication of who was performing. The least you could do was announce who was doing what acts. Sure we could tell whether or not it was a guy or a girl performing, but otherwise it was very difficult to see who was performing. And most of the time it was big groups performing at once.
-Minus some gymnastics performances here and there, it was more like one huge group dance. If I wanted to see dancing, I would go to the ballet.
-the room was dark and only spot lights were used. Again making it impossible to know who was performing
-Words cannot describe how awful, un-creative, and ridiculous the baby the baby Huey act was. As if the first baby Huey act was not enough, they did it a second time. REALLY?
-Did not honor or give attention to any of the member so the Olympic team, who the tour is suppose to be about. Again, it was one big dance party.
I understand that the gymnasts need an off-season and to stay healthy for the tour...but they should have at least done watered down routines for the whole event. Yes, there were routines here and there, but overall it was one big dance party. This was not the way to connect the gymnastics teams with their fans and supporters.
This was the type of performance, you'd boo... Seriously, if you want to see one big group dance and not know who anyone is, this is the event for you! However, if you even want to see watered down routines, some actual gymnastics, avoid this event and put your time and money elsewhere.
