The Tour of Gymnastics Superstars

The Tour of Gymnastics Superstars

The Tour of Gymnastics Superstars was a 2008 nationwide concert tour featuring 17 American gymnasts plus recording artists Jordan Pruitt, Carly Patterson, and KSM. The tour visited 34 cities in more than 20 U.S. states.

The first show, in Reno, Nevada, was taped for a national broadcast on MyNetworkTV and included a musical performance by Hannah Montana actor Mitchel Musso.

Video from the second show, in San Diego, California, was included in Frosted Pink with a Twist, a television special about women's cancers (gymnast Shawn Johnson has a grandmother who is a cancer survivor). The special, which was broadcast on ABC on October 12, 2008, also featured singers Jesse McCartney, Kenny Loggins, and Grammy Award singers Cyndi Lauper and Carole King.
