Review: DANCING WITH THE STARS LIVE at Fox Theatre


by Emily Schenk - March 02, 2026

it’s hard for me to pick a favorite performance of the night, but if I had to pick one that stands out, it was when Brandon Armstrong and Britt Stewart danced to Hit Me With A Hot Note And Watch Me Bounce.

Kris Kringle brought j...
