The show was great! Semi-Spoilers below
Pros:
Truly amazing to see these dancers in person. They're high energy, and really seemed to give the show their all.
Most of the favorite show dances (bench, bongos, tranji, paso double, Ali and Ivan's contemp dance, Benji and Heidi's west coast swing and disco, Ali and Ivan's umbrella dance, Dmitri doing the doll dance with Martha filling Ashlee's spot, Dony and Benji doing broadway dance, dony and travis doing georgia, sexy black..I will add more as I can remember them... etc)
A few new group dances
Repeat Nat and Dmitri's last show performance duo
Travis choreographed a contemp dance for he and Nat
Heidi dances in almost every dance it seems!
The dancers emceed the show
Benji shares that many want to know what is going on between he and Don, to which he replies, "I dont know, I really dont!"
Ivan hammed it up because this is his home town
Travis, Benji and Heidi were really awesome. So was Ryan who wasnt my favorite during the season was pretty great!
Cons:
Lots of TV footage shown. Many of the same segments with the same songs, same narrative etc. The poor guy who busted on his face was shown like 5 times with slooooow motion.....
2 dancers who shall remain nameless seemed a bit slower to me than usual. Perhaps because the show was so intense and so long
Programs were $15 bucks, so I didnt buy one. No simple handouts or anything
Seemed to take forever for the show to start. Began with a 5 minute Nigel speech on screen (not in person)
Martha has a wardrobe malfunction, and I had a hard time focusing on her dance for fear she'd be bear bootied any moment.
*dies happy* (And I think you guys can all find the reason for that in that post : D : D : D

MOOSE!! IM SO SORRY THIS IS LATE, i JUST got home (stayed to meet the dancers!!) here's my email to tay:
I am soooo sorry that I havent emailed u earlier! I JUST got home from the tour (it is 1:30 my time) because i stayed after to get autographs. this was the best night of my life and worth every penny. I will give the FULL report tomorrow (i took detailed notes), but for now, here is what is essential:
opening number (besides the top 10 intro to theme music that is on the show, u know, when the guys and girls walk out and look at each other) was TMB!!! omg i nearly screamed my head off. no benjelle loveness except they interlaced fingers at the end when they did their bow (at least this is what i saw through binoculars). next was Ivans solo, then D and B did the introduction of Alli and Ivan's argentine tango. D was saying how she was disappointed that she and BEnji didnt get to do that because it is such a hot dance (and they did 10 dances together, so why not A.tango?), and while she was saying this, she was running her finger up his shoulder and up the back of his neck. this looked scripted, but still nice. haha ok one more thing about TMB. after the ending pose, benji grabbed donyelle's waist, and I really really thought he was going to pull her down onto him to sit in his lap. but he didnt, they just helped each other up.
now i will skip a lot to get to the next benjelle section, and this is the BEST! (even though probably scripted). benji comes onstage and a disco ball (he called it glitter ball) comes down. he starts talking about how it was popular way back when, but is still used now. then he says that a lot of ppl ask him about his relationship with donyelle. then he said that he tells them he really doesn't know. (A/N: this doesnt sound like much, but the way he said it, he sounded really regretful that he wasn't sure yet. and it also sounded like a relationship between them would be possible in the future), anyway he said that this "weird connection" (quotes are his exact words) that they have is like a glitter ball-"magical and romantic" (A/N: ROMANTIC!!!!!). he said that the VW (or as Donyelle calls it...he then proceeds to make fun of her pronunciations) was their "most romantic" dance that they did, and that his partner is "special, magical and romantic" (maybe he said just like the glitter ball, but i was too busy writing down the previous words to catch it). then they did the VFW!!!!! omg hot. and that famous ending pose, they smiled huge grins at each other. when i was watching the dance, it seemed like they had a lot of history between them, and that this dance was not the most romantic thing they had actually done. hard to explain, but it's late (or really early morning). i will try harder tomorrow. BTW: how many times can he say ROMANTIC?????? SQUEEEEEE
the last major benjelle event (there were other small ones ill tell tomorrow) was (first) broadway!!!!! this is when i lost my voice, because they were having so much fun. then, after bows, they hugged and benji kissed her left cheek. yay!
ok, i know, i should be ashamed of myself as a fangirl for not reporting earlier and in more detail, but i am only getting 4 hrs of sleep tonight. tomorrow i will tell more, i promise, and it will be great!
oh and YAY i met donny travis martha jaymz (idk what he was doing there...jessica was there too) and alli!! benji talked to me from across the street lol but never got to come over. more on seeing the diff. contestants (ivan, heidi, benji, dmitry) later.
Your devoted but ashamed (and also ridiculously ecstatic) fangirl,
