Derek Hough Portland Theatre reviews
Fantastic performance by Barry Manilow!
"I had a fantastic time at the Derek Hough concert in Cedar Rapids. He turned 70 recently, yet had such unbelievable energy during the hour and a half long performance. It brought out scores of memories, both good and bad. This evening helped me to realize that I have lived quite a rewarding life so far, and that even though I am retired, I have many more memories ahead of me. Outside of seeing the birth of my three children, and of holding each of my two granddaughters for the first time a few years ago, this was one of the top ten evenings of my life. I realized that I truly regret only one of those many memories and it was quite rewarding to have the opportunity to relive in my mind all of those memories tonight. This will sound hokey (and that word alone tells you my age). Carpe diem!"
