We went to see Disney on Ice presents Dare to Dream last night at the Pepsi Center. We got there about 40 minutes early and were able to get a really great parking space. Got our tickets, hit the bathroom, and headed to our seats. We only had about a 10 minute wait by the time we got in. So I was really happy with that timing as it was packed!
The show started out with the story of Tiana and Prince Naveen from Princess and the Frog. It was very cute. We loved that the fireflies bottom lit up! Obviously all the storylines were greatly abbreviated due to time, but the story was well done. Even if you haven't seen the movie you still know exactly what is happening.
Next came the story of Cinderella. The wicked step-mother and the step-sisters were there, as were the mice, the Fairy Godmother, the Prince, and many other people from the palace. The step-sisters cracked me up with the faces that they were making at the audience. The mice made Cinderella's dress and the sister's pulled it all to pieces. It was really fun to see that kept in the storyline. After the ball when the prince was looking for the girl who the shoe fit, they again included a few girls on the front row in on the shoe trying on. Archer was sure the shoe would be Goofy's, but no luck. The glass slipper, of course, fit on Cinderella.
Lastly came the story of Rapunzel. Much of it was different from the movie of Tangled, but a lot of it was the same also. Princess kept waiting for the lanterns and was overjoyed when they arrived. There was some really cool aerial work done by Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Maximus was great and you have to admire the two skaters who were able to operate that costume! Archer was again disappointed when the crown belonged to Rapunzel and not Goofy. Though I'm sure he would have looked fabulous in a glass slipper and crown. The only thing that was odd was at the very end Rapunzel had her long blonde hair again, instead of her short brown hair. I totally get why they did it as the long blonde hair is part of what makes her Rapunzel.
Overall the whole family enjoyed the show. Even Archer, who is almost 13, enjoyed the show. At the end he commented on how much better the show was than he was expecting. Of course you can't go wrong when Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald are running the show. Angel loved the fact that all the princesses and their princes made an apperance at the end. Picasso really enjoyed seeing Donald, as he is his favorite. My husband said that the show was really great and sitting next to Princess and her excitement was an adventure! I would happily see this performance again. Everyone that I know who has seen it loved it.
