Disney on Ice presents Mickey’s Search Party in Vancouver, and I can’t wait to finally offer up some tickets to this show! I was able to preview it in New Orleans earlier this year and it’s not only super fun for the whole family, but has dazzling acrobatics and skating feats – not to mention plenty of sing-along opportunities.

Disney on Ice Presents Mickey’s Search Party in Vancouver
Mickey’s Search Party features a collection of Disney characters fans know and love portrayed by decorated performer-athletes who push the boundaries of what is possible. Their theatrical talent combined with this innovative Disney On Ice production elevates the live entertainment experience and will leave families with memories that will last a lifetime.
Coco
Joined by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, live hosts will enliven the performance space by welcoming everyone into the magical world of Disney On Ice, setting the stage for a participatory adventure. Guests will embark on a search for clues to find Tinker Bell after Captain Hook tries to capture her magic. As each scene unfolds, compelling storytelling will be delivered through multi-level production numbers by skaters, performers and acrobats alike. You’ll see Miguel from Disney●Pixar’s Coco, ice harvesters from Disney’s Frozen, the iconic chandelier seen in “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast and more! My favourite (no spoilers) is when Ariel and Prince Eric perform Kiss the Girl.
Produced by Feld Entertainment Inc., the worldwide leader in live touring family entertainment, Disney On Ice is once again elevating the ice show experience with brand-new engaging elements that will fascinate both newcomers and seasoned guests alike.
I have a family 4-pack of tickets to give away to opening night on Thursday, November 28, 2019. Here’s how you can enter to win:

In this unique fusion of tradition and contemporary movements, Passages of Rhythms blends cultures enabling the body to move and transform through complex rhythms, sensation, shapes, and voices.
Alvin Erasga Tolentino brings together some
of Canada’s finest and most diverse artists, to join him on stage for the
highlight of Co.ERASGA’s 19th dance season. This production is
a collaboration with Vancouver’s Chinese-Canadian Flamenco artist Kasandra
“La China”, Indo-Canadian Bharatanatyam dancer Sujit Vaidya, and
Montreal voice artist phenomena Gabriel Dharmoo.
Tolentino exposes his choreographic and performance signature style through inter-generational exchanges and sharing the different practices of Pan-Asian rigor across dance disciplines. Passages of Rhythms awakens, provokes and celebrates the contemporary body and interconnections with cultural rhythms and sounds to distill the complexity of movements to pure expression.
I have a pair of tickets to give away to the performance on November 7th. Here’s how you can enter to win:
