The cast of finalists from Season 11 of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE take to the Basie boards for a touring extravaganza this Wednesday, November 5.
The days when audiences balked at paying good money to attend entertainments that they “could see for free on TV” have long since gone the way of rabbit ear antennas and UHF dials — no place more so than at the Count Basie Theatre, where a whole generation of flat-screen favorites have become some of the most consistently popular draws in real-life, real-time 3-D.
This Wednesday, November 5, the Basie boards are due to take a dazzling pounding, when the 2014 touring production of the mega-hit competition series So You Think You Can Dance commandeers the stage for a single 8 pm performance. Highlighted by the participation of Season 11 winner Ricky Ubeda, the show promises to reside several spectacular cuts above the hand-held mics and slideshow presentations of your typical reality-star personal appearance.
For Wednesday’s hot-ticket show, Ubeda is joined by his fellow Top Ten finalists from the past season — a stellar troupe that includes Bridget Whitman, Casey Askew, Emilio Dosal, Jacque LeWarne, Jessica Richens, Rudy Abreu, Tanisha Belnap, Valerie Rockey and Zack Everhart. Together they’ll be offering up “this season’s most popular routines, as well as original pieces created specifically for the nationwide tour” — and in addition to the regular ticket prices that range from $49.50 to $99.50, the promoters are rolling out the VIP treatment in some eye-popping ways.
Take it here for a full breakdown of VIP options, including a Silver Hot Seat Package ($145 per ticket), a Gold Hot Seat Package ($175), a Meet and Greet Package ($285), and — in what might even be a crazy first for the Basie — a Front Row Package available for a per-person price of $355 (hey, those collectible laminates don’t laminate themselves).
Regular seating tickets, which are probably going fast, are available right here.
