Marking the centennial celebration of legendary American songwriters George and Ira Gershwin, Dorothy Hamill leads an entourage of skaters in a tribute to these two Broadway musical geniuses. Offering figure skating to such songs as "Strike Up the Band," "Rhapsody In Blue," and "Lady Be Good," Gershwin on Ice finds a unique way to relive and introduce (for younger audiences) the music and history behind these two artistic masterminds. With spectacular costume designs and graceful choreography, the performance chronicles the heart of the Gershwins' contributions, re-enacting hit after hit. Though you won't see any Kristi Yamaguchi or Scott Hamilton appearances, Hamill and company offer a more than fitting tribute. Recommended. (M. K. Lau)
