Imperial Ice Stars - Sleeping Beauty on Ice at Milton Keynes Theatre
The world famous Imperial Ice Stars, who have won international acclaim and five-star reviews with their stunning productions, bring Sleeping Beauty to MK Theatre as part of their national tour.
The Imperial Ice Stars specialise in performing theatrical ice skating in the intimacy of the theatre and are renowned for their daring and amazing ice feats, some only seen in the Olympic area - all performed within the confines of a frozen theatre stage! Using 14 tonnes of ice and taking over 140 man hours to build, this production needs to be seen to be believed.
The twenty-five strong cast of Olympic, World, European and National Championship skaters comprise the cream of Russian skating talent, and between them have won over 200 competition medals.
The production boasts one of the most expensive sets ever created for a theatrical ice show by Australia's top scenic designers - Eamon D'Arcy. It incorporates stunning three dimensional scenery, magical special effects, high wire flying and wonderfully opulent costumes by Natella Abdulaeva and Svetlana Murzak.
This interpretation of the classic tale set to the music of Tchaikovsky, The Imperial Ice Stars tell the story of Sleeping Beauty. The superb choreography by the truly talented Tony Mercer, who is widely regarded as the world's leading creator of theatre on ice.
Putting the story aside, you will be able to sit back and enjoy some of the finest ice skaters strut their stuff on stage - this show will appeal to every age group. You will be treated to amazing feats of bravery and strength by the cast, the ice dance is super slick and silky smooth. One thing, don't leave before the encore or you will miss out on being dazzled by the brilliance of the whole cast who literally go mad by performing some of the most daring skating you will see. I guarantee it will make you sit up and gasp in total amazement!
