STAR DATE: Betelguese. Antares. "Grocery Store Joe." Only one of these stars is dancing live at the CPA, and it isn't Antares.

ABC’s Dancing With the Stars has long been a ratings behemoth on the small screen. But it also draws big crowds to live productions at theaters around the country. This week the tour comes to San Jose, featuring many of the show’s most familiar faces (and, let’s be honest, bodies)—including Jenna Johnson, Brandon Armstrong, Witney Carson, Emma Slater and “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile to name just a few. The show trots out just about every imaginable style of dance, including modern, jazz, hip-hop and ballroom, with production values and stage pyrotechnics that are every bit as dazzling as the moves.
