framed by huge LED screens.

From the creators of Cirque du Soleil,

Ice Age Live! is a completely unique and original live entertainment spectacular, and the first show of its kind to combine incredible sets, exceptional ice skating, dance, songs, acrobatics, aerial arts and characters, while incorporating elements from the beloved movies.

“We are thrilled at the high level of interest from Kiwi’s throughout New Zealand. People love the

Ice Age movie’s and characters like Sid and Scrat. The audience is in for a treat, this show is truly fantastic, and one the whole family will enjoy – not just the kids,” says Tracy Magan, MediaWorks & TEG Live Head of Touring and Events.

Hailed as one of the best family shows of this decade,

Ice Age Live! has delighted audiences of all ages in its global, five-year tour. Audiences go on the ultimate live adventure with all their favourite characters, filled with fun, laughter, on the edge of your seat dramatic moments and of course the humour that fans have come to love.

Ice Age Live! recently finished their Australian tour where they received rave reviews. The Newcastle Herald writer Lisa Rockman says, “It really is a visual feast for all ages… If you need any more proof, take it from the mouths of the three children in my company who described it breathlessly as ‘awesome’, ‘cool’ and ‘fun’. They sat still the entire time, spellbound. You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

The arena spectacular is ice skating into
