Behind the Scenes Craftsmanship

Every segment promises to be packed with music, movement and larger-than-life production. Adding to the excitement, audiences can also expect some mischievous surprises from the loveable intergalactic troublemaker Stitch.

Disney On Ice presents Discover The Magic is crafted by more than 100 talented artisans, who have created in excess of 173 dazzling costumes. Using thousands of yards of fabric, each character costume is adorned with hundreds of thousands of hand-set Swarovski crystals.

All this glitz and glamour comes before we even begin to consider the sets. The Disney On Ice production boasts several sets weighing in excess of 12,000 pounds, amongst them a 1,000-pound staircase designed to resemble stilettos.

For fans looking something a little out of the ordinary, another spectacular Disney arena show is heading to the UK this year. The Disney Worlds Collide Concert Tour is set to pack out some of the country's biggest venues in February, bringing the music and spectacle of three major Disney franchises to the stage.

Featuring a mix of stories from Descendants, ZOMBIES and Camp Rock, the tour will see the most beloved hits performed live by the original cast members. Tickets are currently on sale.

Reviews from Previous Shows

While the Discover The Magic tour is entirely new, reviews for the production aren't yet available. Nevertheless, numerous critics have praised previous Disney On Ice productions.

Frugal Mum said: The Frozen display was the best part of the show – the huge Arendelle Castle really set the scene, and the familiar soundtrack from the movie had everyone belting out Let it Go. We definitely have frozen fever in our house and, as Elsa skated around with the snow machine blasting out, it was really magical!

Mums The Nerd wrote: I didn't know what to expect from the show but can honestly say, it was amazing, I'd recommend everyone to go and see a Disney on Ice show at least once. The shows are truly magical for all the family, we can't wait for the next one.

Yet, on TrustPilot some attendees noted that, while the performance was delightful, the merchandise proved somewhat pricier than anticipated - so bear this in mind if you're planning to purchase items at the venue.
