WHAT THE CRITICS SAY | |
What the Critics said of the Live Show "In its conception and execution
it is comparable with the finest opera or ballet productions. Unlike other ice
show, Phantom is a complete theatrical experience" "...A personal triumph...a
superb show." "...proves
to be a colourful extravaganza that is as smooth as silk ...brings an extra dimension
to ice skating and a superb musical score provides the basis for a brilliant evening
...an eye catching thrill - a - minute spectacular." "... will prove a hit at the box office ...more theatrical
than the previous ice ballets ...excellent ...spellbinding ...an eye opener."
"Phantasmagorical feast
...a visual extravaganza, a feast for the eyes ...will stay in my mind for ever
...I could have cheered. The skill of these people put us to shame." "... this superb show of theatre on ice ...imaginative
and breathtaking choreography ...specially commissioned music ...live vocals.
This colourful and exciting show by the Russian Ice Stars climaxes in a whirling
circle of colour and vitality." "...
one of the most exciting and enjoyable, value for money shows going around ...It's
got to be recommended as a great night out" "... balletic and operatic inspirations ...The Ice Stars are
cleverer (with their Italian choreographer, Giuseppe Arena) about making vocabulary
work on a tiny iced up stage ...good luck to the Ice Stars." "... close to perfection ...the original
score by Roberto Danova is supremely superior to that of Lloyd Webber's while
the visual effects are stunning." "Absolutely Brr...illiant! ...their skating set the freezing
night on fire ...its vibrancy, colour, music and movements is a potent cocktail
that lingers on the tongue long after the final curtain." "This show cannot be dismissed as merely a ballet
on ice. Thanks to a memorable score by Roberto Danova and the whole mind - blowing
variety of choreography and direction, it is a breath - taking union of skills
and spectacle". "In
a show which is guaranteed to keep all the family captivated, the icing on the
cake for me was the at times achingly beautiful music written by Roberto Danova".
"Musically, of course it's
not Lloyd Webber, as performing rights obviously prevent this. However, it does
boast an original score which is so dramatic, evocative and atmospheric that -
beautifully sung and narrated in English - it easily stands up on its own merits".
