CLASSIC contempora­ry Disney tunes, brilliant costumes and high energy action await audiences when Feld Entertainm­ent’s ice spectacula­r Disney On Ice returns next month in tandem with the school holidays.

Making its way to the Penang Internatio­nal Sports Arena in Bayan Baru, Penang, from March 9 till 11, folks can look forward to a colossal party on ice featuring a magical montage of first-time as well as perenniall­y popular Disney characters from over 16 Disney stories. The showcase is pesented by PR Worldwide and sponsored by Maybank, in collaborat­ion with Eastin Hotel Penang.

Join Mickey and Minnie Mouse as they celebrate a very merry “unbirthday” party with Alice and the Mad Hatter of Alice In

Wonderland; a Royal Valentine’s Day Ball with the Disney princesses; a Hawaiian luau with characters of Lilo & Stitch; a winter wonderland with Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear of The Toy Story; a Halloween haunt with the Disney villains and more.

Let’s Celebrate will also see Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from Walt Disney Pictures’

The Princess And The Frog making its debut live on ice. Combining the incredible talents of world-class profession­al figure skaters and heart-warming stories, innovative set designs, lavish costumes, dazzling lighting and enchanctin­g music, the showcase promises a heart-warming Disney experience for both families and friends.

Kicking off the show will be Mickey and his friends jiving to tunes from Beauty and The Beast. A special version of the song Be Our Guest will accompany the ice spectacle and only exclusive to the show. Next up is Alice In Wonderland’s The

Unbirthday Party where Mickey Mouse and his friends make merry. Cleaning up the mess will be no feat for magical brooms that appear from thin air where the brooms’ synchronis­ed skating will dazzle audiences while Mickey prepares for his role as the sorcerer’s apprentice.

To kick off the second half of the show, we head to Hawaii to join Stitch and his beach party. In Rio’s Carnivale parade, Mickey shows off his dance moves including a signature Michael Jackson’s move; and during the Hanami (a Japanese custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers), Minnie dons a kimono for the very first time. Audiences will also be thrilled with a Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras revelry that add to the excitement of celebratio­ns happening right before their eyes.

Ending the show in its majestic grand finale is the year’s most wonderful holiday of all – Christmas. Watch Santa Goofy appearing from the fire place, while Buzz and Woody’s friends hide inside the presents.

Finally, Tinker Bell uses a dash of her magical pixie dust to turn the stage into a dazzling illuminate­d world with magical parades, culminatin­g in a show that is all set to add some much needed joy to everyone.
