Dear Diary,

Every week, my daughter and I play pretend. We spin a tale about a magical kingdom, far, far away and reinvent ourselves into a queen and a princess. Sometimes my daughter dresses the part, pulling on a gown, slipping into high heels and placing a crown on her head.  We build a castle, sometimes out of sheets and pillows. Then, we watch out favorite Disney shows, like Sofia the First.

Princess 1

Next week, we won’t have to just dream about princesses. We can join them! Feld Entertainment’s Exciting Disney On Ice Dare to Dream is coming to town. The show unfolds at PPG Paints Arena December 9-11, 2016. Click here for ticket information. Use Code MOM16 to Save $5 off on Select tickets!

The show combines the contemporary stories of  Rapunzel and Tiana with the classic elegance of Cinderella and Snow White.

 

There’s something within each of the stories of Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that speaks to women and girls and families around the world.  Each of these princesses is searching for what truly makes them happy. And I think that’s very reflective of what audiences are like today. ~Nicole Feld, producer

This show is different from anything we’ve ever done, and we’re excited about all the exhilarating aspects we’ve included in this production. This is the first time Rapunzel is featured on the ice with her tremendous amount of hair. And new this year, the Princess who started it all, Snow White, will be joining the show with the Seven Dwarfs, bringing more magic than ever before. ~Juliette Feld, producer
