Disney on Ice will debut new show, Road Trip Adventure in fall 2019
A new Disney on Ice show will debut this fall that will have families interact and participate in the show.
The show, Road Trip Adventures, will feature the highly anticipated “Toy Story 4,” live action “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” along with classic tales and hit films including “Mary Poppins Returns,” “Frozen,” “Moana” and more.
The show will premiere in Orlando on Friday, September 6, 2019. The two-year, 60-city tour includes stops at major arenas in Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia and New York City in 2019, followed by Boston, Chicago
“As a parent, I know how valuable time with your kids is and how increasingly more challenging it has become to not only carve out that time, but also to make those moments as memorable as possible,” said Nicole Feld, Executive Vice President and the Producer for Feld Entertainment. “That’s why with this production, we wanted to design an atmosphere where families come together and interact with the performance to create something truly special. By the time the finale ends, more audience members than cast will have been on the ice creating family memories that can only happen at Disney On Ice.”
While guests prepare to hit the road with Mickey Mouse and his friends, tour guides will engage and greet the audience for the adventure in store. Families will become an integral part of the narrative no matter where they are sitting through a variety of participatory elements built into the production, such as in-audience dance moments, a show-stopping version of Road Trip Karaoke and Toy Story 4 carnival games that everyone in the audience plays. Throughout it all, more than 50 guests will be placed at the center of the action on the ice when families are invited to ride in small groups in a specially-designed vehicle driven by Mickey Mouse or one of his pals, stopping at favorite Disney destinations, such as North Mountain and Metroville.
The audience will journey together alongside their tour guides as their memories are captured to form a larger-than-life scrapbook of adventures on video screens integrated into the set. The audience comes together to help The Incredibles save the day as Dash’s speed brings fire to the ice and aerial bungee enhances Elastigirl’s powers. Guests are shrunk down to toy size to help Woody and the gang join forces with Bo Peep to find new pal, Forky.
“The arena is our canvas, and we use that space to create a 360-degree experience that brings the heart of the show closer to families by stretching the performance area beyond the ice into the air and into the audience,” said Patty Vincent, Creative Director for Disney On Ice.
From the foggy city of London with “Mary Poppins Returns” to the mystical city of Agrabah in “Aladdin,” family favorites come to life in a multi-generational celebration.
