Derek Hough is bringing his high-energy stage spectacle, Symphony of Dance: Encore, to MPAC tomorrow and Wednesday! We’re so excited to welcome Derek, as well as his wife Hayley back to our stage for two fantastic sold out evenings of exciting performance.
Last week, Symphony of Dance: Encore was featured as part of Jersey Arts’ Feature Stories spotlight. Keep reading for more highlights from the article!
“’We’ve had Derek at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in several forms over the past few years — on his own with ‘Derek Hough Live! The Tour,’ with his sister in ‘Move Beyond Live on Tour,’ and with his wife in the original ‘Symphony of Dance’ tour,’ says Ed Kirchdoerffer, MPAC’s Chief Operating Officer. ‘These types of performances, from ‘Dancing with the Stars’ to ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ do very well with our patrons. It’s become a very popular genre.’”
“Kirchdoerffer says a show like ‘Symphony of Dance: Encore’ aligns with MPAC’s broader mission of bringing world-class performing arts to Morristown. Part of that appeal, he adds, is the show’s ability to cut across generations. ‘It reaches an audience that other performances may not reach. We have children and grandparents at this type of show. It appeals to everybody,’ he explains. ‘It’s energetic, fun, very well produced, and features slick performances. It’s a great event to bring to Morristown.’”
