PHILADELPHIA—One man who watched the show in New York had to see it again in Philadelphia, where he now works.

Mr. McClosky, who works at City Hall, says, “I started out by watching it [advertised] on TV on Channel 35, WYBE when it started in New York City. I’ve been attending the performances for three years, although this is the fifth performance that I’ve attended, because I’ve also been going to the shows in New York City.”

Interviewed at the intermission of Divine Performing Arts (DPA) first show of their world tour, Mr. McClosky was eager to see the rest. “So far, it’s been fantastic. I’m looking forward to the second half.”

When asked about which piece was his favorite, Mr. McClosky said: “That is a difficult choice to make. Every single … interpretation that we see on the stage, every dance, every song that we hear is so fantastic. I can never choose a favorite.”

On this return visit, DPA premieres over a dozen new dances and songs, state-of-the-art, animated digital backdrops and a live orchestra.

Philadelphia kicks off Divine Performing Arts 2009 World Tour with more performances on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
