I cannot wait until March 13th to see the show in Philadelphia.
I don't know how anyone can say that SOI is boring or a "dude" (dud)!!! Even the one year, Gold I think it was called, when it wasn't great, it was still enjoyable. There is nothing more exciting than the lights going down, glimpsing the shine of the skates under the curtain where the skaters enter and then the sound of the blades on the ice. I've been attending since 1995 and have not been disappointed yet. There are years I like the music better or a certain program better, but I am NEVER EVER bored. As long as the show is coming to Philadelphia, I'll be there.
It is sad to see that not even the lower bowl of the arena fills now-a-days compared to the place being sold- or nearly-sold-out.
I consider myself very lucky to live close to a city that still gets Stars On Ice AND Champions on Ice and the occassional competition or special show (Country On Ice, Kristi Yamaguchi's Salute to American Music, Scott Hamilton & Friends).
It is different now that the original core skaters are no longer with the show, but different does not equal "worse" or "less". It's skating, it's ice stars, it's fantastic!
