Zaldua and Sukhanov too but not so extreme

Not too many skating celebrities in the cast, except Lambiel and pairs...

**luCN** · 05-13-2011, 09:39 AM

well,actually figure skating isn't popular in China at all,so more or less celebrities not importand

to be honest,the most famous one and will attract people to buy tickets in this cast is pianist Lang Lang...

They were at Stockholm Ice.There is a review here :

Chesnas does scary things in the air and Fioana and Dimtri has a scary headbanger...

**Jenny81** · 05-13-2011, 10:56 AM

I'm not sure whether this show will succeed or not with a weak line-up.

**elanor** · 05-13-2011, 11:43 AM

Certainly, Lang Lang is not a weak line-up (although I don't know how popular he is in China, he mostly performs abroad). I would buy ticket just for him.

Shen Zhao have their own show so there can be some contract conflicts.
The pairs cast is pretty awsome and pairs is probably the best known discipline in China anyway.

I would love to see Lu Chen but I don't think she skates in shows anymore.

Art on Ice is different kind of show, not mainly figure skating show but with the big stress on the musicians that include both pop and classical performers, and also acrobats. I don't think that adding some top single skaters would make a big difference for the audience that is not particularly familiar with skating, it is more the question of good marketing, sponsors and having some Chinese names involved.

There are many skating shows in China this summer, I hope they suceed, it's such a great potential market for skating.

**ice9** · 05-13-2011, 12:55 PM

Well, DelSchoes, S/S, V/T, and Eman are enough to convince me.

luCN, will you please let us know when the tickets go on sale in China? I'm thinking about asking my friend in China to book mine. Thanks in advance!

It's already begin booking,but only the chinese version page.if you have friends in china,you can ask them order for you:
http://sh.piao.com.cn/ticket_26233.html

but if you want to pay it youself from abroad,you should call the telephone number I post above 86-21-51509199 and ask for help

or,waiting till the English page update.
I'll post it when I see.

**luCN** · 05-13-2011, 03:39 PM

Lang Lang is very famous in China,especially for these kind of shows,many people may not know figure skating,but may come to see him with a ballad like show.

invite him is a so clever idea IMO

Just a note about making the call. If you call from outside of China, you don't have to dial the '0' of '021', the '0' is needed only if you call from anywhere within China, but in that case, you don't have to dial '86' which represents China. In short, it's either

86-21-51509199 or
021-51509199

**Marco** · 05-13-2011, 03:56 PM

Michelle Kwan would be a nice addition because of her accomplishments and her heritage.

I wouldn't expect skaters like Czisny to be too expensive and she can definitely draw in the crowd.

I think Buttle much fit much better - since when is Sandhu skating again? And they really could add someone like Verner, Amodio or Fernandez.

**luCN** · 05-13-2011, 04:06 PM

Marco,I really hope to see Buttle too!!!

Pity that he'll neither in AOI nor Artistry on ice TAT

**luCN** · 05-13-2011, 04:07 PM

thank you for you correct fscric!

**melonmelon** · 05-13-2011, 04:11 PM

Thanks for the information, LuCN.
Thanks fscric. !!!
