Tracy Morgan Live on Stage
Comedian Tracy Morgan Starred for seven seasons on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning 30 Rock with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. Last year, he headlined a nationwide stand-up tour, Picking Up the Pieces, which culminated in his newest stand up special Staying Alive, which was released on Netflix in May 2017.

Love On The Floor Starring Cheryl Burke, Meryl Davis & Charlie White
Dancer, choreographer and TV host Cheryl Burke, who starred for 19 seasons on ABC's Dancing With The Stars (DWTS), created "Love On The Floor," a unique dance show that explores a relationship from beginning to end.
Burke, who won the DWTS Mirror Ball championship twice, stars with Meryl Davis and Charlie White, the 2014 Olympic Gold Medal-winning Ice Dance duo. Davis won the Mirror Ball in Season 18 of DWTS with White placing fourth.
"The Love On The Floor Tour is definitely my greatest accomplishment to date, not only as a dancer but also as a creative producer," Burke says. "I created this show because no matter how many shows I went to see, no matter how many dance programs I enjoyed, they all missed out on telling a story from start to finish. Dance is the most universal form of communication. It transcends all languages as the most primal and original forms of communicating with others. Love On The Floor reminds people that the language of love doesn't necessarily need to be spoken."
The show premiered in Japan in 2016 with a series of sold-out shows. Burke is looking forward to now showcasing the dramatic production in front of American dancing fans. Each star performs a different stage in the journey: "Romance," "Passion," "Hurt" and "Power." Burke, Davis and White will be joined by a talented cast of dancers.
