Produced by Fairytale On Ice whose previous tours include Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, the show features many of the country's most skilled skaters. A spokesperson for the company says, "Dan’s involvement in Cinderella On Ice is testament to the incomparable level of production that guests can expect, in this stunning new family show.”
Theatre On Ice was born in 1993 when Vee Deplidge created a company, known as the Russian Ice Stars, that toured the UK with productions of Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan on ice. In the past ice shows have proved popular with Edinburgh audiences with productions transforming both the Playhouse and Festival Theatre stages into giant ice rinks.
