Over the course of the 7 years I have produced The Fabulous Ice Age I have had the opportunity to attend a number of figure skating reunions. Holiday on Ice, Ice Capades, Ice Follies plus one fabulous reunion in Prague for European skaters.
This year’s Holiday On Ice reunion was held in Las Vegas. Roy Blakey, my uncle and ever fabulous tour guide through the history of theatrical ice skating, Roy Blakey and I traveled together. Since I have been focused on post-production I have not been able to attend any reunions and this year I did so as Roy’s guest. This was the first reunion where I wasn’t doing interviews so we had some time for some sightseeing. It is always rewarding to be around skaters as they are such interesting and passionate people. Thanks Roy!
Tom Collins was honored for his amazing contribution to the history of both Holiday On Ice and for his show Champions On Ice. Special guest stars Michelle Kwan, Brian Boitano and Scott Hamilton all came to pay tribute to their mentor and their friend Tom Collins. It was so touching and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the end of Tom’s talk.
