I have been in touch with some of the skaters.
Valerie Marcoux and Craig Buntin.
They are telling me the show has been sold out in markets they did. West Markets, Prince George, Grand Prairie,
Medicine Hat, Prince Albert. They said it is such a great show and alot of fun. I am going to Oshawa where it is an other Sold out show.
I will try to post a review tomorrow.
I cannot wait.....

Watching Elvis, Kurt and Brian together on the ice was a huge higlight for me and watching them looking like they were out doing each other. I thought it was fun that Kurt and Elvis were a wee bit more athletic and when Brian had his turn they both mocked him and looked like ballerinas. Speaking of which I was surprised and pleased that the russian acrobats were at the show. We got to see their ballerina routine which I will never get sick of and another one done to the hockey anthem I guess you would call it. The big guy came out in an oshawa hockey jersey and shorts with knee pads and long socks and the lil guy full body tights with the word Dancer across his butt. Too much fun.

Joannie did Paint it Black and L is for...O, V, E # in a beautiful red costume. B&E did the Garth Brooks # and the one with her in blue glasses.....mind fart.
Brian did Beyond the sea and ummm? Not coming to me right now. His jumps were off tonight but no splats.
I really enjoyed Elvis's These Arms #....with the arm extensions...he even did one jump right in front of us with the arms. Really an departure for him to do a comedy thing and he pulled it off big time.
L&A did thier short and long...and wow the sun and moon costume again in show lighting is AMAZING...these two are sooo hard to take pictures of because they move so fast.
The small kids (Canskaters) were so cute. I think everyone especially liked this lil girl in black with silver on the bottom of her dress..she was prolly the weakest tech skater out there but she was sooooo cute.
The synchro team was pretty good, I was surprised.
Rod Black did the announcing although I never saw him so I think it might have been taped cause at one point they cut him off when a local girl skated.
After intermission Shae, Issabel and Josee came out in white robes and white towels on their heads talking about what thier hubby's were going to get them for Valentines day (today I guess) I think it was Isabel that said she was very curious because her hubby got her a vacume cleaner the year before. Shae said that her's got her nice and easy hair color and they talked more about the hair color. I have never before seen a sponsor put into a skit in a show. It was cute.

What a great skate last night... I agree with Rinkrat!! It was a great show, and Rinkrat described the show quite well! It happened just as she had said.
If anyone has any pictures, i would be dying to see them. I forgot my camera at home, and was very dissapointed when i arrived there, and forgot my camera.
You could email them to me (crazi1@zworg.com) or post them on a site.
That would be GREATLY appriciated!
Thank you!! :)

I was also at the Oshawa show, and it was, as others have said, a great show. Obviously, the highlight was the number that Kurt, Brian and Elvis did together. I was also impressed with Lefebvre/Markov, being my first time seeing them together live, and with Joannie's 2nd number, which was new to me. I did take some digital pictures, and plan to put them on imagestation tonight, overnight, as it takes a long time to download them on dial-up. Hopefully, I will then get them set up tomorrow after work.

hey
i've been lurking for a while here, i finally registered to ask about this show
i went to the show in sydney, nova scotia, but i took my baby daughter with me and she didn't like some of the loud music (really stupid of us, huh?) so between the 2 of us my wife and i missed most of the show
could someone post the music that everyone skated to, and in the group numbers and opening and closing and everything too so we could get an idea on what we missed?
its to bad this wasn't on tv sometime, i would love to see it again, from what i did see it was an amazing show, and the pics here were amazing too
