Disney on Ice Princess Wishes review and giveaway

Disney on Ice Princess Wishes review and giveaway

I was able to see the new Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes at Madison Square Garden. When I think ice shows I think horrible costumes with sequins, bad music and ice skating moves that I can do. Well I couldnt do most of these moves the sequins where limited to the princesses and the music was the fabulous selections from the Disney movies each princess came from.

The show was awesome! I highly recommend it for any Disney fan or anyone thats into ice skating or princesses (cause there is plenty of both!).

I loved the snow white and the aladdin story lines maybe because they really struck a nerve with me as those were two of my Disney favorites growing up.  The show also focused on Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Ariel from little mermaid, mulan and Tinkerbell. Of course Mickey and Minnie made a popup here and there.

My child’s face was priceless at a few of the songs and he loved the tricks, the lifts, and some of the special effects. Yes, he even grooved around a bit to the Genie song from Aladdin.  They use the real voices from the movies which will really help the kids get into the story lines and hold their focus.

The show is broken up into two 45 minute segments with a 20 minute intermission.  Of course they have the lights, cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, and ect for sale… but its all worth it for those few pieces of memories you’re creating with your child.

Next stop for the show is in New Jersey at the Izod center and I’ve got a four pack of tickets to giveaway.

IZOD Center in East Rutherford – Fri., Jan. 28 @ 7:30 pm and Sat., Jan. 29 @ 10:30 am

Colin Quinn Long Story Short on Broadway Ticket Giveaway

Colin Quinn Long Story Short on Broadway Ticket Giveaway

Comically channeling the demise of great world empires, Colin Quinn uses his “articulate brand of comedy” in taking audiences through an uproarious history of the world in 75 minutes. From his personification of Caesar as the original Italian mobster to his complaints about Ancient Greece and Antigone giving way to Costco and Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and bad habits that toppled the world’s most powerful nations. Colin Quinn Long Story Short proves that throughout human history, the joke has always been on us.
