Holiday on Ice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holiday on Ice is a touring ice show currently produced by Joop van den Ende's Stage Holding Entertainment Group. Although Holiday on Ice originated in the United States in 1943, after several changes of ownership, today it primarily tours in Europe and Latin America.
Although Holiday on Ice is an adult-oriented show, it has retained much of the traditional ice show format, similar to the now-defunct Ice Capades. The shows include a large chorus of skaters, elaborate costuming and production numbers, and novelty acts such as acrobats. In contrast to the North American skating tours Stars on Ice and Champions on Ice which feature primarily World and Olympic champion figure skaters, most of the skaters who tour with Holiday on Ice are not particularly famous, and the focus is on the overall production quality rather than the skaters' competitive credentials.
Robin Cousins has choreographed several of Holiday on Ice's recent shows.
