Last night, I took the boys to see Disney on Ice presents Rockin’ Ever After. {Disclaimer: I was given the tickets for free, but all opinions are my own.} I wasn’t sure how they’d feel about it, since they’d only seen one of the four movies represented in the show.

First up was the Little Mermaid. Even though I haven’t seen the movie in at least twenty years, as soon as Ariel gets her voice back (spoiler alert!) and starts the “ah-ah-ah..” song, one can’t help but pretend one is also a former mermaid. The boys enjoyed the dancing crab (Sebastian) and the fish (Flounder) in that sequence.

Next up was Tangled, which they may have seen, because they recognized the girl as Rapunzel. I’m not going to lie, I watched that one by myself not too long ago. The boys liked that the guy in that kept getting knocked out with a frying pan. Hope that doesn’t give them any ideas… There was also a skating horse that Miles thought looked real. The lantern scene was very cool, too.

We got a short intermission after that, and I promised the boys some more vastly overpriced cotton candy. Well, it came with a Flounder hat, at least.

They would not stay still for a photo.

Next up was Brave! As you can see, I dressed the boys in their Brave t-shirts featuring the triplets, so I was happy the little guys were in that segment a lot. (But no bear part! I was kind of surprised they cut that out. Maybe to avoid spoiling the movie? Oops, guess I should have put SPOILER ALERT before this paragraph.)

Wrapping up the show was my favorite segment, Beauty and the Beast. I forgot how much I loved that movie when I was younger. I must have watched it a thousand times while babysitting my neighbor’s kids when I was a teenager. This show really made me want to watch it again.

The best part, of course, is the Be Our Guest song. I really would like one of the dresses that the “plates” wear.

The boys were a little freaked out by the fire on stage, but I thought it was cool. (This is when the townsfolk are going after The Beast.)

My only complaint about that segment is that the post-Beast Prince (or whatever he is) was not terribly handsome. Kinda wimpy, actually. I’d take Gaston over him any day.

And that was it! The production values were very good, and I love watching ice skaters. The highest praise I can give the show is that the boys sat through it and were engrossed the entire time. Go and see it if you can! It’s playing through Sunday, May 5. Showtimes can be found here.
