I was “treated” to a showing of the new show ICE<\/strong> (replacing the long running show – SPLASH<\/strong>) at the Riviera Hotel <\/strong>Monday night. It was a good thing.
\nA clear plastic – floor to ceiling – stage left to stage right – curtain (yeah, it looked like a huge shower curtain) bathed in blue spots evoked a cool, icy image. Loud, soft-rock music played for about fifteen minutes when – like in the dim imagery of a dream – a gorgeous young women on three foot stilts, ice skates and flowing robes floated elegantly behind the curtain, dance-skating back and forth across the stage…Since the folds in the translucent curtain partially obscured her and her ambiguous image, the fantasy screamed perfection; this is not to say that this young lady wasn’t perfect…
\nAfter a while the show began in earnest with young women and men skating across the ice in various configurations and devices: acrobatic hand stands on high props, flips, splits etc. Comedic violin performances, balancing high on tettering geometric boxes and tubes, skate-dancing and flipping through the air from professional see-saw like boards – all on ice-skates, on ice – were executed perfectly by this troupe of young Russion performers…All the while an excellent trumpeter ran riffs underlining<\/em> the entire show… <\/p>\n

Elena Shpagina<\/strong> was the cherry on the icing of the cake…Her Hoop act (Hula type hoops) was executed perfectly; she really didn’t need the hoops; all she has to do is stand “there”…<\/p>\n
