Andy Williams Tour Opens In Iowa Five Seasons Center

Dee Ann Rexroat reviews Andy Williams new tour at the Five Seasons Center in Cedar Rapids. The show clocks under two hours with a 17 piece band and four young singer-dancers plus a female vocalist.

The production feels self conscious in a large arena, but the Cedar Rapids Washington High School Concert Choir adds gospel and patriotic numbers to bridge the gap.
