I went to the Boston show on Sunday afternoon.
I thought it was a great show. Seeing Kulik, S/Z and D/L for the first time was
a big thrill for me and they delivered. I had on ice seats and I will admit that I was a little star struck being so close to the skaters.
B/A I like their program much better than last season’s Sexy Back. It had lot of drama, beautiful lifts and it was very Russian. I noticed a big difference in their technique, very smooth and precise.
Each of Todd and Michael’s programs was very entertaining and crowd pleasers.
The number with Yuka, John and Michael I liked very much. I have to say that I was very impressed with Yuka, the girl still got it. She also did two solo numbers and was very engaging with the audience and nobody strokes across the ice like Yuka, she is something else.
Kimmie looked beautiful she had on a very pretty fuchsia dress. She attempted quite a few jumps. She fell on a triple jump, completed one triple jump, doubled another triple jump and I think did two 2A . She skates quite fast and was whizzing by me so I could be wrong on the jump content. Other than her fall it was a beautiful program. It was good to see her and she had a lot of fans in the audience.
S/Z was a highlight for me just exquisite skaters. Ditto for D/L great programs. Love both of these teams.
Kulik, what can I say that has not already been said. He has such a presence on the ice and skates beautifully. I was thrilled to finally get to see him live.
Evan did an abbreviated version of his Gershwin LP. I was glad he did not do his hip hop routine. He skated great and did quite a few jumps and boy can he jump. After his number Todd came out and congratulated Evan on becoming World Champ and the audience gave him a big round of applause.
Sasha skated only one number and it was Moonlight Sonata. I believe she only did 2 jumps. She had a hand down on one of the jumps but completed the triple jump it was right in front of me. Sasha was a little off. She looked tentative and she was having trouble controlling her spins but that is just nitpicking because I thoroughly enjoyed her program and she is breathtaking on the ice no doubt about it. Before she skated her solo I did notice in the group numbers that she looked a little tentative and slow compared to the other skaters. I hope she is alright.
I also enjoyed John Z and both of Jen’s numbers.
Ending group number was fun and the skaters were having a good time. B/A, Evan and Kimmie came out to do the last skate around the arena slapping hands and then they threw strawberries into the crowd. Of course I had the on ice seats so I figured there is no way I was going to get a strawberry but Yuka skated right over to me and handed me one (which I gave away to a young girl who was sitting near me). Then I almost fainted because John Zimmerman skated right over to my section and shook hands with us and asked if we enjoyed the show and thanked us for coming.
Evan and Tanith still looked like a couple to me they were standing together laughing and chatting away throwing the strawberries into the audience and when it was over they skated away together into the tunnel.
I thought the entire show was simply marvelous!!!
Sorry that I don’t have any photos to post. Photography is not my forte. lol
