Disney princess spectacular coming
Print Edition
JOIN Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy as they follow four of Disney’s most inspirational princesses on their adventures to fulfill their dreams in Feld Entertainment’s newest ice spectacular, “Disney On Ice: Dare to Dream.”
Combining the contemporary stories of two modern-day princesses, Rapunzel and Tiana, with the classic elegance of Cinderella and Snow White, “Dare to Dream” whisks audiences away on exciting journeys where dreams really do come true.
The show will come to Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena Friday.
“Dare to Dream” merges the classic with the new, maintaining some of the most cherished stories of all time, “Cinderella” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” while also incorporating popular songs and unforgettable scenes from Disney’s newest fairy tales, “Tangled” and “The Princess and the Frog.”
From the lighting to the music, choreography and costumes, each element of “Dare to Dream” combines to create a memorable show for the entire family.
The show starts with a magical, musical voyage in New Orleans celebrating the story of “The Princess and the Frog,” with Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen, and then escapes into the enchanted forest with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The trip continues to Cinderella’s kingdom in her search for true love and follows Rapunzel as she discovers the world beyond her tower on her quest to see the floating lanterns. The Disney princesses then come together for the first time on ice during the finale, to welcome Rapunzel into their royal court in the ultimate princess experience.
A different show
“There’s something within each of the stories of ‘Tangled,’ ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ that speaks to women and girls and families around the world,” says producer Nicole Feld. “Each of these princesses is searching for what truly makes them happy. And I think that’s very reflective of what audiences are like today.”
“This show is different from anything we’ve ever done, and we’re excited about all the exhilarating aspects we've included in this production,” says coproducer Juliette Feld.
“This is the first time Rapunzel is featured on the ice with her tremendous amount of hair. And new this year, the princess who started it all, Snow White, will be joining the show with the Seven Dwarfs, bringing more magic than ever before.”
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Disney princess stories and to provide a chance to realize dreams of little girls, Shanghai organizer held a “Shining Princess” competition over the weekend. More than 300 girls from 3 to 8 years old participated in the event.
“With a dream to be a lovely princess, they showed their talents and courage to make their dreams true in this activity,” says Hua Beiqin, a staffer with the organizer, adding that the final winner, 7-year-old Ye Weini, will join in activities with actors from the show.
