Great cast. A rival to All That Skate?

Great cast. A rival to All That Skate?

I'd rather say the main aim of the show is different from that of ATS. I went to the ticketing site today to buy a couple of tickets for myself. They blocked half of the seats, most probably for the LG family portion. I got the impression that LG, the main sponsor of the show, does not care much if the show is profitable or not.

Here is the foreign language version of the ticketing site:

They offer English version. ETD: Japanese and Chinese versions are not ready yet. The language button is at the top right corner.

IIRC, Jason Brown originally was listed for the first show of the U.S. SOI tour on April 18 - this must have been the scheduling conflict.
