CLOSING CEREMONIES
If you gave Debbie Allen $20 million, you'd have the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Games Closing Ceremonies. It was indiscernible from SOLID GOLD 2002 - Live on Ice!.

I commend the person who got the funding for:
1.) Bon Jovi, Moby, Charlotte Church, Donny & Marie, Willie Nelson and *NSYNC all on the same stage.
2.) KISS, Kristi Yamaguchi and Katarina Witt all on the ice
3.) 40,000 people having a snowball fight with enormous cottonballs
4.) Thousands of 5 ft white beachballs avalanching down on the audience
5.) Savion Glover and a Russian ice dancer doing a center-ice, tap routine (no funk, some noise) (White Nights II)

and to end it all

6.) Thousands of gallons of day-glow paint splashed all over the stadium and blacklit and then the athletes of the 2002 games coming down and rolling around it it. They also threw the beachballs back at us and bum-rush Moby's stage.

It was well choreographed pandemonium and I loved it.
