OC Register " ... Working his way across every inch of a magnificent in- the-round stage that grants an up-close experience for those positioned either at center ice or at the goal-ends of the arena, Timberlake was positively commanding from the opening 'FutureSex/LoveSound' through the closing 'SexyBack' ...
