fans will be excited to learn that a new wintry ice show featuring sisters Anna
and Elsa and the hilarious snowman Olaf glide into Toronto over the holidays.
Not one, two or
three but eight Disney princesses – Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana,
Jasmine, Aurora and Snow White – embark on “incredible adventures, determined
to make their dreams come true.”

The tales of these most
courageous leading ladies are told through artistic skating and acrobatics in
Disney On Ice’s Dream Big at the Rogers Centre from Dec. 23 to Jan. 1 for 15 performances.
It features “high-flying
jumps, daring acrobatics, breathtaking skating and lovable Disney friends,”
making this an unforgettable family show, said publicist Beth Merrick.
Produced by Feld
Entertainment, the audience will “experience the sisterly love that has
captivated millions as Disney’s Frozen is brought to life on the icy stage,”
she added.
