2023 U.S. Stars on Ice tour (May 20-June 4) with international cast

[DreamSkates]

Not scheduled to come anywhere near my state. Sad face.

 

[SkateSand]

It looks like there is a San Jose Stars on Ice show scheduled for May 21st at the SAP Center. Tickets are on sale now (presale) on Ticketmaster. Weird that the Stars on Ice website doesn't have it listed yet except that I guess they don't want to interfere with Nationals tickets still being sold?

Edited to add: well, of course, now it's listed on the SOI site.

 

[barbk]

It looks like 90% of the seats are still available for the Palm Springs show. I wonder if it will get canceled. Even more, why they chose Palm Springs on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend? It seems an odd choice.

Not scheduled to come anywhere near my state. Sad face.

I'm sad it's not coming to Greensboro like last year but can understand why. Last year, the arena was maybe 1/4 to 1/3 full. The thought of driving up to Baltimore crossed my mind, but with the traffic and crime around Baltimore, I won't be making the trip. Hope there will be some fan cam footage later.

According to an e-mail I received today:

After nearly 1,000 Stars on Ice shows in the U.S. and Canada, four-time World and Canadian Champion Kurt Browning will be saying goodbye to the tour in 2023.

According to an e-mail I received today:

I'm definitely going to need to go this year then.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Why can’t they invite Gaby and Guillaume?

Why can’t they invite Gaby and Guillaume?

I so want this to happen!

 

[overedge]

Why can’t they invite Gaby and Guillaume?

Maybe they were invited and they said "no"....

ETA: Just to clarify, I have no inside knowledge on this issue. Just pointing out that a skater not being in the lineup doesn't always mean that they weren't invited.

But it would be a fun place to go for a a3 day weekend

Wow, what a difference 30 minutes makes. The show can breathe! Unfortunately, nearly everyone chose to be really bad at comedy, so this would have been better as a 60 minute show. Selena and Mistress were lucky as they were less bad than Marcia3 and team SashAnetra. So we’re down to 6 and the preview showed a continuation of Everybody Hates Loosey storyline.

Now that COVID is officially over…will there be normal MEET AND GREETS again this year? Last year’s far-away situation was ridiculous.

 

[Frau Muller]

Still waiting for details on this year’s MEET AND GREET situation, please. Has anyone experienced them in this year’s Canadian tour? Selfies with stars allowed, for ex? Thanks in advance!

Yes, based on the first 2 photos posted by this fan at the Ottawa stop of the CSOI tour: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrpK-TfOqcd/

You could get selfies with them last year - I got them but they were behind the table and I heard the same was true for this year.

 

[Allskate]

Question. There's only one day off in between the Canadian tour and the U.S. tour and many of the skaters obviously have to travel. So, do the skaters joining the tour in the U.S., like Nathan, Isabeau, and Ilia, have one day to learn the group numbers? Or, do they go to Canada and learn the group numbers there before the U.S. tour starts?

 

[sheetz]

The choreo for this year's group numbers is very simple compared to previous years so someone like Nathan, who has lots of experience with Jeff's programs, would likely be able to learn the moves in one day.

As for the other two it's not a requirement that they be in every one of them, or any of them at all. For example, in the Japan shows Ilia was only in one of the group numbers, and the number that he was in is not being performed in the North American shows.

“Behind the table” is not great. The first photo that Sylvia linked, with a skater (Brown) next to a fan, is much nicer.
