If you want young anorexic D-cup dancers in micro-miniskirts, fabulous light shows, slick choreography, and glamorous costuming, buy another DVD.
All you get on this DVD is a gracefully aging Olivia Newton-John singing, surrounded by great talent. She sits, she stands, and occasionally she sways to the music. And she sings.
Her voice is at least as strong and beautiful as it ever was. And ever was it! She performs her big hits, usually, but not always, in the same styles as the originals. She sings a few songs made popular by others. She sings a few new songs.
There are frequent digressions showing ON-J playing tourist with her friends, but these are short and help pace the show without being unduly distracting. Two hours well spent.

Timothy Dalton's greatest acting achievement. In his mid-thirties, Dalton kept a straight face as he promised his undying love to Mae West, in her mid-eighties. West looked great for an octogenarian, but not THAT good. West played the legendary Mae West with all the usual Mae Westisms, a litany of lusty sexual innuendos. A cornucopia of crazy cameos cracking corny jokes that might have been cute if West had only been 30 or 40 years younger. The central theme is that West is everyone's heart-throb, from teens to crotchety old Walter Pidgeon (who was still her junior!). Hard to buy. Some merit, some (emphasis SOME) humor, and bits of some of the song and dance routines deserve being parts of better movies, but no awards for this one.
