For more than two decades, Olympic Champion and figure skating icon Scott Hamilton has thrilled audiences of all ages with the Emmy Award-winning Smucker’s Stars on Ice. Now in its 22nd year, America’s premier figure skating tour is proud to present “Live and In Color,” the all-new Smucker’s Stars on Ice production featuring Olympic Silver medalist Sasha Cohen, which will visit Value City Arena on March 22 for a 7:30 p.m. performance.
Cohen's exquisite talents will complement an amazing cast of Olympic and World Champions including 2002 Olympic Pair Champions Jamie Salé & David Pelletier (Canada); World Champion and six-time U.S. National Champion Todd Eldredge; World Champion and two-time Japanese National Champion Yuka Sato; two-time World Bronze medalist and three-time U.S. National Champion Michael Weiss; World Bronze medalists and three-time U.S. National Pair Champions Kyoko Ina & John Zimmerman; and six-time Canadian National Champion Jennifer Robinson. Additions to the cast for the 2008 season are three-time World Pair Champions and two-time Olympic Bronze medalists Xue Shen & Hongbo Zhao (China), and two-time World Silver medalists and five-time Canadian National Ice Dance Champions Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon.
“The greatest skaters in the world are coming together to show America why they are the best,” says Hamilton. Co-Creator Jef Billings adds, “Fans will experience the energy, the spontaneity, and audience interaction that come only from being part of a live show. There will be no retakes and no edits. What happens on the ice is for your eyes only."
Enhanced by a broad spectrum of popular music, intricate lighting, dynamic costumes, cutting-edge choreography and state-of-the-art technology, audiences will be front and center as champion skaters interact and perform as only they can. Each show will be a unique spectacular as fans witness the excitement of their favorite skaters jumping, spinning and flying past their seats.
