AWARD-WINNING STARS ON ICE Launches 2012 "Love 'n' Life" Tour
(Toronto, ON) – The world’s premier figure skating tour, Stars on Ice, has brought together a superstar ensemble of Olympic, World and National Champions for the 2012 season. The award-winning production will visit twelve Canadian cities, opening in Halifax on April 27 and wrapping up in Vancouver on May 18. For a complete list of tour dates and performance times, please visit www.starsonice.ca.
Stars on Ice has always showcased the unique combination of athleticism and artistry which is figure skating, in a cutting edge premier entertainment spectacular. In 2010, Stars on Ice highlighted North American superiority in the Winter Olympics. Last year, Stars on Ice celebrated its third decade of shows in Canada by bringing the world an unparalleled cast of legends past, present, and future. In 2012, the “Stars on Ice Love ‘n’ Life” Tour will get a new infusion of creativity from legendary skater, Kurt Browning, who will co-direct and choreograph this year’s production.
“I am thrilled and a tad intimidated with the opportunity to choreograph Stars on Ice,” said Browning. “My relationship with this tour has been wonderful for over two decades, and I want to give this new role with the show my best effort like I did, and still will, as a skater.”
Stars on Ice continues to be a pioneer in figure skating by offering fans the rare opportunity to witness some of the world’s most creative and cherished champions performing together in both individual and ensemble routines. This year’s tour features a stellar cast of world-renowned athletes, including Four-Time World Champion & Four-Time Canadian National Champion Kurt Browning; 2010 Olympic Gold Medalists and World Champions Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir (Canada); 2010 Olympic Bronze Medalist Joannie Rochette (Canada) and Olympic Bronze Medalist & World Champion Jeffrey Buttle (Canada).
