On April 3, 2010, be enchanted as Tinker Bell whisks audiences through the breathtaking stories of seven Disney Princesses and their inspiring wishes at the RAI Amsterdam.

Through artistic skating and graceful acrobatics, Disney On Ice presents Princess Wishes beautifully recreates the defining moments when seven Disney princesses’ wishes are fulfilled. With Tinker Bell as their guide, guests will see the inspiring stories of Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Mulan, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and witness their wishes being granted and their dreams coming true.

In this new touring show produced by Feld Entertainment, audiences will go where imaginations soar and anything can happen if they just believe. Ariel’s dreams are unlocked from under the sea and, in one magical moment, she finds happiness in an exploration above the waves. Mulan teaches inner strength, Jasmine discovers a whole new world and Snow White finds her one true love. This beautiful presentation also reveals Cinderella, Belle and Sleeping Beauty’s deepest wishes.

“Before dreaming up this edition of Disney On Ice, we reflected on what makes Disney’s princesses so special,” said Producer Kenneth Feld. “It didn’t take long to realize that every princess had one thing in common: each embarked on an adventure to find their heart’s fondest wish, and through believing, they come true. We wanted to share that inspirational message with our audiences by celebrating the stories of these enchanting characters.”

This delightful extravaganza promises exceptional performances by its talented cast assembled together by Jerry Bilik and choreographed by Cindy Stuart; dazzling costumes by designer Ilona Somogyi from the hit broadway show Spamalot. According to her, Fabergé eggs served as inspiration for the Cinderella ball and were the basis for the full-flowing waltz gowns, among others!

With this as his fifth ice show credit, Emmy® Award winning Lighting Designer Peter Morse sought to compliment the set design with the appropriate lighting that would transition smoothly between the stories. “When telling seven distinct stories, it’s important to be able to create a new environment to set the stage for each tale,” said Morse. “Set designer Robert Little did this with the transformable set, and it was my mission to fill the rest of the ice with radiant lighting that would place the audience in the heart of these stories.”

The show is brought together by the brilliant collaboration of a talented creative team under the direction of Patty Vincent.

Disney On Ice presents Princess Wishes invites audiences to experience the emotions evoked by the film’s inspiration through the use of high-energy music, glittering sets and dramatic choreography to make an incredibly breathtaking experience.
