Nathan Chen amongst the stars to perform

Produced by the International Management Group, Stars on Ice is a touring Figure Skating Show. The show was co-founded in 1986 by Scott Hamilton and Bob Kain. It is a theatrical show in which skaters perform together in ensemble and solo numbers.

The event will see the best of the US Figure Skating team performing in multiple cities. Current Olympic and Three-time World Champion Nathan Chen will also be seen performing. “The whole cast is excited to be here,” said Chen as he added, “It’s been a while since we’ve been able to do a show, and to be able to be together after two years of not — and to celebrate the work we all put in before and after the Olympics — it’s very exciting.”

As there is no pressure on them to earn points, the skaters let loose. This adds a fun element and everyone gets into a different kind of groove. Chen is set to perform a reimagined version of his ‘Rocketman’ short program. Not only that, but Chen will also perform another solo routine to ‘Space Song’ by Beach house.

The group numbers may very well be the most entertaining and memorable show programs. Chen will be seen performing in all four of them to songs by AC/DC, The Weeknd, Jon Batiste, and Elton John.
