OK! We begin our
And it would have been here sooner, but as I mentioned on social media, we experienced a super-frustrating glitch with the video camera and have been working to salvage what we could of our footage, which in no way made me totally freak out this entire week. Fortunately we were able to rescue his Beyoncé debut from Friday’s show, and thus we present 30+ exclusive photos and, yes, VIDEO, of this spectacular new program which I’m hoping we’ll see many many many more times this year (please let this be a thing in Artistry on Ice this summer. Because if ever a program deserved a Weibocalypse of its own, it’s this one).
As you might imagine, we came home from our 1,500-mile roundtrip with a ridiculous amount of photos and at least some video, including gorgeous rehearsal stuff, so we’ll keep plowing through and shoveling it all out here as fast as we can. For today, please enjoy this first set of exclusive photos plus bonus fun stuff (including more exclusive video!) at the end of the post. Much more to come!
Note: Nearly all the exclusive pics below are pleasingly huuuuuuge, so click on any photo to see it in all its full-size glorious detail.
