Parking was a challenge, The event was good, moved quickly through the different skaters. Holly Ole and her band were excellent. I felt that it was overcharged considering it was an event for t.v. With retakes etc, they need us in the audience to add volume for their recordings and i feel that we were overcharged.
Holly Cole was amazing with her energy, voice and enthusiasm. The skaters were ultimate with their skills, fitness, and patience with the retakes at the end. This event really got you in the holiday mood. I strongly recommend watching the event on CBC on Dec 18th at 9:00 p.m. Wonderful to see the Langley ice arena; an intimate setting.
The 2012 LEC Holiday Festival on Ice was a memorable family event and offered something for everyone, young and old --- comedy, acrobatics, lyrical interpretation, martial arts on ice, romance, flirtation, and even a trip down memory lane with Kurt Browning's interpretation of Gene Kelly's dancing to "Singing in the Rain". Very enjoyable!
I found this event very festive and colourful. The talent was top notch and entertaining. I would recommend this show to anyone I know.
Thrilled to see Kurt's "Singing in the Rain" program live! All of his programs were so entertaining. He is so talented! Jeff was mesmerizing with his skating skills and interpretation of the music. Enjoyed seeing Joanie and Shawn too - in fact - enjoyed the whole show.
A wonderful evening of individual and group skating routines with the unforgettable Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Joannie Rechette & Jeffrey Buttle leading the way.
Paid for VIP seating and was sat in a regular section. When I asked about this I was flippantly told "the skaters will be in a lounge upstairs". Kurt Browning did not take the mike and address the audience. Very amature production and definitely not worth the extra money I spent on "premium tickets".
Having been a fan of Elvis, Kurt, Jeff, Shawn & Joannie for a long time, it was so nice to sit front and centre and watch these 5 up close. Fav numbers were Joannie's "Formidable", Kurt's hockey skate number (Loved the Taller/Toller t-shirt!), Shawn's "Allegria" was amazing - totally suited him. Kimmy's second skate was really good. BOTH of Elvis' solo's were rock solid, clean, energetic . . . "My Sharona" was great! Big thumbs down to maintenance who left way too much water on the ice at intermission and put a big "damper" in some of the numbers in the 2nd half.
Good skating of course...music was well enough chosen but the recorded vocalist(s) were very hard on the ear...loud and grating...like modern singers who affect jazz to mangle the national anthem, the music was harsh..didn't like it for most of the show, except a couple of numbers. Highlight of the show was Singing in the Rain....Every year I take my 8 grandchildren to the Pantomine and thought the ice show would be a nice change. It wasn't cheap buying 10 tickets, - Next year, back to the Panto.. 1/3 of the price, and way more enjoyable....
Good programn but how come the National Anthem was not sung or played?This is Canada and I thought it was normal to have the National Anthem either sang or played.Am I wrong?Please do not make an excuse that you are afraid of offending someone or whatever.This is Canada the home of the free
Amazing, wonderful, skaters! They clearly love doing what they do and it shows! Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko were AMAZING and funny!! Tons of interaction with the crowd! The Langley Events Centre was a disappointment though. After paying for the most expensive seat, on the ice, I had to practically share it with the man next to me! The seats were hinged together, so you couldn't separate them for comfort. I would have preferred to pay for the seats in the stands, where at least you could have sat in your own seat. They also failed to sell any souvenirs or programs at ice level, which I would have bought if they had been available.
So great to see Elvis was in fine form. He was a joy to watch! There were a lot of group skates that were not up to par and so many falls by the women skaters. The men in all, were stars and did a phenomenal skate. For the price, I feel it fell short! The music was very loud - far beyond what was required and I felt the female opera stars singing was far too heavy and just didn't seem to fit in the program.
The show was fantastic! My only thing is my friend's little girl is a figure skater. She wanted some of the skaters to sign her ice skates. There was not a meet and great. The show was still very good!
The Holiday on Ice Figure Skating Show was simply enchanting. All of the skaters gave their all and charmed the entire crowd. I had a chance to have my photo taken with Kurt after the show, and he was charming and gracious.
. I was dissapointed because there was no other lights other than the blinding floodlights... no other decor... some color would have been nice... The show was fabulous and the skaters were amazingly talented :)
I would go again because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could tel the audience enjoyed it by their enthusiasm and cheering of each artist.
Absoulutely amazing, would go again in a a heartbeat. Skaters made it look so easy.
It was a good show, great to see all those skaters perform live. It seemed a bit low key definitley not as exciting as a competition.
The skaters were very interactive with the whole audience.We did the VIP seats and the meet and greet and the skaters were very gracious and approachable. Especially Kurt! Thank you to them for a memorable evening.
Good skating I guess, but not much of a SHOW. After the first half it started to feel REALLY LONG.
