Cinderella on Ice
The world-famous Imperial Ice
Stars, who have won international critical acclaim with
their previous tours of
The Sleeping Beauty on Ice and
Swan Lake on Ice, are set to thrill once more with their
brand new production, Cinderella on Ice.
More than two million people across five continents, from London to Auckland and Toronto to Cape Town, have been swept to their feet by The Imperial Ice Stars’ adrenaline-infused performances.
New Zealand audiences will be the first in
the world to see this dazzling display of skating brilliance
from 23 Olympic, World, National and European
Championship skaters. The Imperial Ice Stars are renowned
for their unique brand of innovative skating and
story-telling, as they continue to break new ground in the
genre of ice dancing with daring feats never seen before –
and all performed in the intimacy of a frozen theatre
stage.
Cinderella on Ice has been conceived and
choreographed by Tony Mercer, widely regarded as the
world’s leading creator of theatre on ice, together
with Evgeny Platov, dual Olympic gold medallist and
four
time World Champion, and Alexander Zhulin, Olympic silver
and bronze medallist and World Champion.
The production
boasts special effects rivalling Cirque du Soleil, including
fire and rain; lavish sets
depicting Siberian snowscapes
and gypsy carnivals from one of Australia’s top scenic
designers; and glorious costumes from Albina Gabueva, head
designer at Moscow’s famed Stanislavsky Theatre.
In this
retelling of the traditional story, Cinderella is a prima
ballerina whose dancing captivates the Mayor’s son.
Despite rival attempts by her stepsisters to steal his
heart, the kindly Watchmakers and Gypsy Fortuneteller
ensure that true love triumphs.
“A spellbinding
dramatic experience that will
thrill the senses” Sun
