Overall, the show flowed smoothly and the audience seemed to enjoy every second of it. Marina’s set was a smooth way to warm up the crowd and extremely enjoyable. Collin went up after Marina and easily held the crowd’s attention.

Marina performed her cover of Taylor Swift’s “The Man.” Glaser said near the beginning of her set that she was the one who asked Marina to learn that song.

This was Glaser’s first theater tour. It kicked off on Jan. 24 in Boston.

It’s going to be so fun and I hope you can go! Note: @taylorswift WILL be played before and after (and possibly during),” Glaser wrote in a Facebook post.

The trio did a dance to “The Man” at the end of the show. They seem to be having a lot of fun together on this tour and that vibe was felt throughout the entire show.
