Garcia from *[The Korea Times](/source/The_Korea_Times)* found Keys’ concert at the [Jamsil Gymnasium](/source/Jamsil_Gymnasium) in Soul “fierce” and stated that “Keys had the audience in the palm of her hand” while “show[ing] off her strong vocals to full effect”.[9] Ben Werner from *[The Orange County Register](/source/The_Orange_County_Register)* felt that “Keys hasn’t quite blossomed into a master of the form, her balance of choreographed routines and moments alone tickling the ivories never flowing as seamlessly as it should” but, however, found the concert “mostly satisfying”.[10] ## Personnel - Tour director: Steve Dixon - Production designers: Nick Whitehouse, Steve Dixon, Bryan Leitch, VYV - Lighting designer: Nick Whitehouse - Lighting directors: Steven Douglas, Dom Smith, Chris Steel ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-inflation-US_1-0)** 1634–1699: [McCusker, J.
