Disney on Ice producers Feld Entertainment really has the big arena spectacular down to a grand science. This is the best production in the vast repertoire of Disney On Ice, by far the most beautifully well presented. They have brought in a stunning cacophony of color, imagination and creatively that will delight and charm children and adults.
Tinker Bell, Mickey and Minnie take us on a joyful journey to visit with the princesses brought to life by Disney, which becomes a heady experience for our most precious commodity. Adults will enjoy this production as much as the kids. It is enchanting, educational and full of fresh innovative choreography, stunning costumes, glorious sets and lighting and exhilarating music. All the favorite Disney heroines and heroes that can be bundled in one evening without hyperventilating are presented with spectacular special effects and the stunning Disney sparkle.
Delightful Tinker Bell guides us on an action-packed tour of the imagination with vignettes of moments when dreams come true. Cinderella’s carriage is pulled by horses that will give “The Lion King’s” puppets a run for their money. Mulan, Jasmine and Aladdin take us on fascinating adventures. Snow White finds her prince, Sleeping Beauty is awakened by her first kiss, and Belle and Ariel highlight the delightful happy endings of their stories. The elephant in Aladdin is priceless.
Director Jerry Bilik has been sensitive enough to see the productions through the eyes of creative minds, and keeps the show moving at a mind boggling pace.
Award-winning choreographers Tom Dickson and Catarina Lindgren bring newness and sparkle to the spectacular synchronized skating numbers that include most of the cast – a new, eye-catching addition.
It is a captivating show for all. The eight-ton castle as the background that transforms to fit each story by scenic designer Eduardo Sicangco pushes the envelope in creativity. The costumes by Gregg Barnes are stunning and original. More than 780 costume pieces appear in the production and each is true to the character in the design and detail. Emmy Award-winning Peter Morse’s lighting completes the picture.
Having to cover such a vast area is no easy task and if not done well, the whole production can fall into a black hole. Never fear. This team is a credit to their craft and bring beauty and vitality that covers the huge arena.
Aided by a talented cast of outstanding skaters with charming reminiscent music, the whole show does exactly what its suppose to do: it gives off a glow of happiness with the possibility of happily ever after.
A fun evening is guaranteed with the Disney On Ice’s production of “Princess Classics.” The kids will be elated to see all their animated friends come to life and the adults will enjoy the sounds and the beauty and the artfulness of the production.
