I returned to the ice show with grandparents having not been with them for about 15 years. If you never went to this show in the early 90s this show will be fine, but dont go expecting what it used to be like then. If you go with no expectations you will enjoy it but for us it was no where near as good as it used to be.
Speed...? there was lots of timely intervals merely filled in by one of the skaters skating back and forth across the ice, to a piece of music. Yes thats lovely but we know they can skate and the songs really had nothing to do with the show. Previously there was a lot more skaters and hence there was always something to keep you entertained.
Best part of the show? The circus side show, but I didnt pay £30 for Holiday on Ice to watch a 5-10 minute circus act.
Finally if you buy the cheapest tickets you are likely to get a better seat anyway due to only about 1/3 of the place having sold out. areas were shut off and people told to sit where they liked further down the balcony.
