There is a long review of Broadway On Ice in Atlanta, January 1 and 2 on Rudy Galindo's website. Rudy and Oksana starred as they had in two previous shows in Florida during the post-Christmas week. They both sparkle in this kind of entertainment. The review lists all of the songs, skaters, and others with major roles off the ice. The show is a Willy Bietak Production choreographed and directed by Sarah Kawahara.

This show is well worth seeing for those who enjoy figure skating as entertainment. The skating is excellent, the production is attractive, professionally done in all aspects, and the show is more reasonable to attend than COI or SOI. It combines some of the best aspects of both of those shows--fine individual skating and excellent ensemble numbers in various skater configurations. It also has the intimacy of a smaller (and warmer!) venue.
There are four shows that I know of remaining on the current schedule:
Clearwater, Florida - February 1-2 (matinee and evening on the 2d) - Ruth Eckerd Hall - Brian Boitano and Deborah Gibson
Naples, Florida - February 4 (evening only), 5 (matinee and evening), and 6 (matinee only) - Philharmonic Center for the Arts - Boitano and Gibson
Raleigh, NC - February 8-13 (evenings, with matinee and evening performances on the 12 and 13) - BTI Center for the Performing Arts, Raleigh Memorial Auditorium - Dorothy Hamill and Davis Gaines
South Bend, Indiana - February 15-20 (evenings, with matinee and evening performances on the 19 and 20) - Morris Performing Arts Center - Hamill and Gaines
