Did anyone catch "Broadway on Ice" at Bryant Park on Monday. I didn't hear about it until i was on my way home that night, so I was jsut wondering if anybody went, and what it was.

I don't know exactly what it was... but it was supposed to come to Raleigh through Broadway Series South... but it was cancelled or something. I guess they weren't counting on a bunch of people going (shoot, I was going!)... but it had Dorothy Hamill (I think) and some other skaters. They were supposed to skate to various bway songs (some from Chicago) and do a scene or two... something like that... But I really wish I could have gone! It looked super!

I believe they had actual singers singing the songs while the skaters dance around the rink and whatnot.

Sounds like "Hitler On Ice" from Mel Brooks History of the World

My friend the critic knew it was time to get out of the business when her paper made her cover "Nutcracker on Ice." Seriously.

Yeah I only heard about this because of Davis Gaines posting it on his website. I thought it was strange. I use to be a skater, so brodway and skating together...could be cool.

Off topic, one of the skaters in "Stars on Ice" did two numbers. Her first one was "And the Beat Goes On" sung by Liz Callaway, and then the second was Heather Headley. It was so great!

Wendy - It was at 3:00 PM. Regular skating had resumed by 5:00.
It sounds like it could've been interesting.

Davis Gaines is leaving this show...plus it has been canceling dates just as it did on its last tour.
