Disney On Ice returns to the Pacific Coliseum next week, Wednesday, 27 November 2024 through to December 1^st. Fifty-six favourite Disney stars shine in Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars. There’s high-flying acrobatics, stunts, lighting and special effects, not to mention, costumes, set design, and of course figure skating. One of the production’s principal skaters, Matthew King joins me now. I’ll get him to tell us about working with Feld Entertainment on these shows, the reaction from audiences, kids of all ages, and the memorable music and characters we all know from timeless Disney works. I’ll also ask him about skating, how long he’s done it and what benefits one might derive from taking it up. Visit www.disneyonice.com for tickets and information. We spoke two weeks ago, with Matthew joining me from Portland, Oregon, while on tour with the show. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Matthew King; Mr. King, good morning.
