The world’s foremost theatrical ice skating ensemble, the Imperial Ice Stars, has delivered a wondrous production in their Nutcracker On Ice. For the delight of young and old, this 25 strong line-up commands the Festival theatre stage like it was their own.
Through whirling, pivoting, jumping and landing, the story of the Nutcracker and its famous score by Tchaikovsky, is given a new look and powerful feel.
Grace, athleticism, fire stick twirling, magical tricks and even some high wire manoeuvres spice up what is pretty much faultless skating. The sets are massive and lavish but the performers never lose touch with their audience with oohs and ahhs common place, leading into a finale that had many present on their feet.
This is a school girl’s delight and no parent or grandparent will regret the experience of seeing this world class ensemble doing their stuff.
