I had the opportunity to attend the last dress rehearsal of Disney On Ice presents Frozen! I wanted to pass on some information about the show as well as some pictures from the show, and some of the merchandise! As you all know, Frozen has taken over the world of Disney. With girls dreaming of being Anna and Elsa and parents loving Olaf, Frozen on Ice was sure to be a hit. We got a feeling for just how big it really was going to be when the tickets went on sale and sold out almost immediately. Luckily FELD just released more seats, but I know that they were going fast as well! I wanted to start out with some information about the show as well as some fun facts that was given to us last night!

Review of the show:
When the show starts, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Minnie come out and introduce all of the friends that they brought along to the show, and the list is long! Many princesses and princes show up including Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Rapunzel as well as some of your favorite Disney characters from The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Toy Story and more! Once the Disney characters come out, it is time to tell the ultimate love story!
It starts out with two little girls who are best friends…. Wait! We all know the story of Frozen! The show sticks to the story line, and showcases the biggest songs from the movie. The costumes were simply amazing and were elegant and very detailed! There was also a lot of amazing special effects for this show including firework effects, a huge monster who chases Olaf, and a Olaf that was controlled by someone when he falls apart! The skating was also amazing! The skaters in this show are world class, and perform some amazing tricks like flips, jumps and lifts!
There is a brief intermission for this show for kids who need to go to the bathroom, grab drinks, and of course buy their favorite merchandise from the show!
At the end of the show, all the Disney characters as well as the Frozen cast skate around and interact together while it is snowing in the arena! Overall, I thought this show was amazing. It kept my attention and entertained me. Best part of the show for me was watching all the small kids around me recite the entire show and singing out their hearts when the music played. Frozen has really seemed to impact a ton of children around the world, and this show will be no different! If you can, get a ticket and see this show! I even had someone with me who had never seen Frozen and the first thing they said was that they needed to go buy the movie!
