Disney On Ice Press Release

DISNEY ON ICE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF MAGIC IS
COMING TO THE UK!
This One of a Kind skating spectacular features more than 60 lovable
Disney characters
Having wowed audiences all over the world in Disney On Ice
Celebrates 100 Years of Magic, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse
and their friends from Disney’s Mulan, The Lion King and
Pinocchio, and Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and
Toy Story, will be bringing the on-ice spectacular to the UK this
autumn and winter!
Produced by Feld Entertainment, this fanfare production
features more than 60 unforgettable Disney stars that span the
decades, a sing-along score of award-winning Disney music,
stunning choreography, elaborate sets and beautiful costumes.
With Mickey and Minnie leading the fun, the show includes
breathtaking skating numbers, devised by an award-winning
choreographer who created the skating segment for the Opening
Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Complementing the fabulous skate sequences are countless
memorable Disney musical classics, such as “A Whole New
World”, “Beauty and the Beast” and “Can You Feel the Love
Tonight”, which bring everyone’s favourite memories of Disney
to life on ice.
Outfitting this cast was a huge challenge for the show’s costume
designer with dazzling designs ranging from Mickey’s Marching
Band, to the “It’s a Small World” dolls, to the stars of Mulan and
Finding Nemo. Bright colors and minimal structure in the
Finding Nemo costumes allow the characters to move freely to
mimic the natural movement in water, while a red sequined
evening gown worn by Minnie is the star of the show!
The design team, who have worked on numerous Broadway
productions, have bought a magical, theatrical feel to the on-ice
experience. Skaters weave around and bring to life the “It's a Small
World” sequence, amidst sparkling floats that turn into a radiant
light parade and a blanket of snow and an avalanche fall as Mulan
battles the Huns. Another highlight is when a giant present is opened
to reveal Buzz Lightyear, as he is first introduced to everyone’s
favorite toy cowboy, Woody and his pal Jessie.
