We had a great experience when we went to the last Disney on Ice show and I wondered how different this show would be because there aren't new ways to tell the same stories. While a couple of the sets/princesses/routines were similar to last time, there were new elements and new princesses featured. There were 6 princesses showcased and each one skated to a condensed version of her story. Allison loved seeing the Frozen story, but was most excited about the Moana section, since Moana wasn't feautred in the last performance. I kept watching Allison to see her BIG reaction, but she just looked confused. Then she tapped my arm and said, "Mum, why does Moana have light skin?"
It's true, the Moana character was light skinned, in fact I only saw one non-white person in the whole show. Since the princesses don't skate as part of the chorus for the other princess sections, it seems like they could have picked someone with dark skin. Allison really thought these skaters WERE the princesses so it was a big deal that they didn't look the way they should.
It was still a great show that was highly entertaining and full of energy.
