Bear in mind that this is written after I have knocked up the previous three reviews you have just very kindly sat and read/scanned through/totally ignored. If Joseph was a great ‘B’ grade show and Horrors was a solid ‘A-‘ performance, then Dancing On Ice was a freaking knock out top notch, blow you out of your seat, prickly hairs on the back of your neck extravaganza. Now I love the musicals and concerts I get to go and see, but seeing Torville and Dean live on the ice, less than 30 feet away was quite the thrilling experience. Having sat in awe when I was just eight years old, and watched them get perfect 6.0s for their Bolero performance, I was tres excited to see Dancing On Ice turn into such a phenomenon and take the show on the road. Most of the shows finalists (Duncan Blue, Lisa Scott Steps, Stefan Booth, Bonnie Langford, Claire Buckfield and Kyran Bracken plus Australian finalists Lisa Blingle and Jake Wall - in the DNA shot above both who were really great) were there along with all the professional skaters. The show was done very much like the tv show – a performance and then judges comments. All were very good (hey Lisa has sold out many times in the last few years, but it’s the first time in a long time that she has sold out an arena 
ba dom tssk!), yet it was Bonnie, Claire and Kyran that were head and shoulders above the rest. They were so fluid in their movements and moved incredibly well to the songs that they had chosen while being quite fearless in the way they flung themselves round the ice. In the second half, the professional skaters got to do more and I have to say two of the routines just blew me away. One was set to the CanCan music from the excellent Moulin Rouge and involved lots of death defying flinging of some completely fearless lady around the guys skates and close to the ice and into the air, all at incredibly fast speeds. I was literally holding my breath the whole time, fearing for her safety! Then Daniel Someoneortheother did Angels and flew off the ice just holding onto two pieces of cloth. Man, you got to be ripped to do that! I got sore just watching him. So all in all, quite the magical breathtaking evening (i’ll tell you more about my quite serious back injury I sustained today tomorrow in the pre-amble…)
