I just got done seeing it and I have to say...Wow! It was one of the most incredible shows I have EVER SEEN.
Some of my favorite scenes:
1) Jared 'Choclatt' Crawford and Raymond A. King playing 'drums' using pots and pans on there bodies and on a rack.
2) Savion Glover doing an introspective 'hoofer' tap where he discusses the styles that infuenced him like Buster Brown and Jimmy Slyde.
3) The industrial scene where the drummers play off of the dancers' taps as they swing on the pole. I also liked the part where they tap up and down the stairs.
4) Lynette Dupree was a wonderful singer in almost every scene, but I especially liked the Gospel/HipHop scene.

There was not a boring moment. I encourage everyone to take this oportunity to see this incredible show with a message.
