Watch out for flying princes, larger-than-life fire-breathing dragons and singing mermaids as Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis welcomes the new touring production “Disney On Ice presents Princesses & Heroes” from Jan. 22 to 26.
Through artistic skating and graceful acrobatics, “Disney On Ice” beautifully re-creates the defining moments when eight Disney princesses’ wishes are fulfilled with help from their devoted princes. Peter Pan’s fairy sidekick Tinkerbell guides guests through the inspiring stories of Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana, Jasmine, Aurora and Snow White as their wishes are granted and their dreams come true.
The adventurous will enjoy Aladdin swinging across the ice on a rope as he escapes from the marketplace guards in a chaotic getaway scene, and watching Prince Philip defeat the evil Maleficent as she transforms herself into a 20-foot fire-breathing dragon in a race against time to rescue Sleeping Beauty’s Aurora.
Ariel fans will relish five production numbers from “The Little Mermaid” movie including the songs “Fathoms Below,” “Daughters of Triton,” “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World.”
