Disney on Ice Presents Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JOIN AN UNFORGETABLE JOURNEY WITH DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTS PASSPORT TO ADVENTURE Ice spectacular takes audiences on a fun-filled tour to four exciting destinations filled with your favorite Disney friends at The Dubai World Centre Arena from April 4 – 7, 2018 Early Bird tickets available from November 15 – January 1, 2018 on Platinumlist.net, the Dubai Calendar App and Disneyoniceme.com Dubai – November 15 – Join Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Daisy Duck on a journey to the timeless worlds of Disney’s The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, and the Academy Award®-winning, number-one-animated feature film of all time Frozen when Disney On Ice presents Passport To Adventure comes to Dubai World Trade Centre, Arena, from April 4 to 7, 2018. “It’s an extraordinary show and a family vacation all rolled into one incredible night,” says producer Kenneth Feld. “You really get a sense you are traveling right alongside Mickey, Minnie and their friends.” Passport To Adventure features an international team of award-winning figure skaters, exciting choreography and a musical score filled with critically acclaimed Disney hits the whole family will enjoy. Choreographer Cindy Stuart has bridged breathtaking athleticism and celebrated soundtracks through movement. Inspired by each character’s personality, Stuart incorporated original moves to convey each storyline. From the exhilarating festivities on coronation day in Arendelle during “For the First Time in Forever”, to Elsa’s dramatic and inspiring transformation during her powerhouse ballad “Let It Go.” Stuart has also included many adagio lifts and spins, like those featured in Prince Eric and Ariel’s tender pas de deux and the displays of agility and balance during Simba and Nala’s affectionate duet to “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” Costume Designer Arthur Boccia assembled specific and appealing looks that reflect the tone and culture of all the Disney locales. Your favorite characters sport everything along the way from nightgowns to winter gear, and lion’s paws to Triton’s fin-clad daughters. Additional attention to detail was not only paid to the main characters of each story but also to the supporting chorus pieces, such as the authentically disheveled looks of Captain Hook’s rambunctious pirates. The many settings of the show are enhanced by the partnership of Robert Smith’s scenic design and Patrick Dierson’s lighting design. On and above the ice, the two creative team members have assembled each fantastical world’s distinct charm with a combination of hues and scenic elements that immerse audiences in their favorite tales and adventures. The foggy London skyline appears to dissipate as the Darling children head toward Neverland, where they are greeted by the Lost Boys in their tree house and the Jolly Rodger’s rollicking crew on an enormous 35-foot pirate ship. King Triton’s underwater kingdom is also reimagined through a colorful array of lighting patterns that match Sebastian’s calypso beat and giant seashells that open to reveal Ariel’s sisters as they take part in their music lessons. “Not only is this show a journey through favorite Disney stories, it is a journey of emotions,” says director Jerry Bilik. “From the antics of Sebastian and Simba to the high-flying adventures of Peter Pan, the audience will experience excitement, humor and friendship.” SES Live Founder and CEO Ali Haidary commented, “We couldn’t be happier to bring Disney On Ice back to Dubai after a 3 year break with our most exciting show yet. For the third time we will bring a brand new Disney on Ice show to the Dubai World Trade Centre where we have played to full houses and wowed thousands of families with the magical world of Disney. This time not only will Anna, Elsa and Olaf be returning to Dubai they will be joined this year by a whole cast of characters never before seen in the UAE. Nala and Simba from The Lion King as well as Captain Hook and Peter Pan will be taking us on a magical journey guided along the way by our very own Mickey Mouse, who truly provides a “Passport to Adventure”.
