An Ice Spectacular Starring Robin Cousins & Rosalyn Sumners

The Sleeping Beauty is the biggest and most spectacular ice show ever. It brings together 16 of the world's leading skaters from the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, and Germany. Co-starring in this timeless magical tale are Robin Cousins, Olympic gold medalist from the U.K., and Rosalynn Sumners, U.S. professional ladies champion and Olympic silver medalist.

Set to Tchaikovsky's haunting music, arranged and conducted by Bramwell Trovey, this hour-long version of the classic ballet is recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. Michael Seymour (of Alien fame) designed the elaborate sets and Lar Lubovitch, one of America's leading choreographers, staged and choreographed the entire production.
