The Disney magic is coming to Sheffield and there’s a smart way to save money on the pre-Christmas family treat
The first reviews are in for the Disney On Ice Discover the Magic show that’s coming to Sheffield in December and families are being wowed by the performances.
Disney fans who have already seen this year’s show have been impressed by the experience, calling it “amazing” and “fantastic for kids and adults” with “incredible skating”.
That said, a few visitors to the early Birmingham shows last week thought that prices being charged for merchandise and refreshments were a bit over the top though prices at the Utilita Arena, in Sheffield, may not be the same.
Probably best not to go there with hungry children or hungry adults for that matter.
The good news is that tickets for the Sheffield shows are cheaper than most of the other shows up and down the country.
Tickets are available from £23.95 for the Sheffield Utilita Arena shows which are taking place from Wednesday, December 9, to Sunday, December 13.
Furthermore, children under two years old are free as long as they sit on the lap of a parent or guardian.
Without wishing to give the game away, the story is about the search to find Tinkerbell and we meet loads of Disney favourites along the way so there’s something for everyone.
Nevertheless, the show does promise “a fast-paced, family-friendly production” featuring “spectacular ice-skating, daring aerial stunts, and memorable moments from Aladdin, Toy Story and The Little Mermaid”.
The first reviews are in from families who saw last week’s shows at the Birmingham bp pulse Live and it has picked up a rating of 4.3 stars on Ticketmaster where tickets can be purchased.
One mum said: “Fantastic for kids and adults. Brilliant characters and the skating was just incredible.”
Another parent wrote: “Took my 3 children aged 4, 14 and 15 to watch Disney on Ice and what a show it was. The way the show was put together and ran seamlessly throughout was amazing.
“The ice skaters are so talented and all of my children were in awe.”
Another said: “Wow, just wow. This has been the best year to go in a long time. They have definitely brought the magic back this year.”
There were some criticisms of the event, however, one Disney fan described the merchandise prices as “absolutely ridiculous” while another described the show as “brilliant” but that the price of food and drinks at the venue was “extortionate”.
There are also VIP packages available for the Sheffield shows, priced from £30 to £125 but seats closest to the ice appear to be in short supply.
One grandma on a family day out said: “An amazing show as always. I brought my grandson for the first time and he's a Disney fan and he loved it.
“Keep up the great work. We will be back next year.”
