Elvis is back after a 3 year retirement!
Sunday night was the world premier of "Rock the Ice" his new ice show. It premiered in Peterborough Ontario (my home town), a city of about 75,000 2 hours NE of Toronto.
Here are some details of what is up

The line-up was great - Elvis, Surya Bonaly, Jeff Buttle, Joannie Rochette, Weaver and Poje, the Kerrs, Jason Graetz (a ice clown a la Kurt Browning witht he flexibility of Shawn Sawyer, and the adagio pairs Zaldua and Sukhanov and Afansieva and Dack (Dack is from Peterboorough which is why the premier is here) Roselle Soussana-Doyle (Elvis's choriographer) and Emmanuelle Balmori (an ice arielist who trained with Cirque de Soliel).
WP filled in at the last minute for Marie France D and Patrice L who were supposed to headline but MF was injured. They train about 3 hours away from here so I guess they could whip over to fill in.
Apparently the show will be going to Europe then to the US. They must be having a hiatus during the Olympics because Elvis said he was commentating for Yahoo then.
He had copies of his CD in the lobby for sale during intermission.
His skating was strong and he was well trained and still very flexible - it was obvious - he had strong Russian split jumps, super blurry spins and did several triples (no combos or quads tho )

We had seats in the 3rd row from the front and they were $C55 :agree: Sometimes it pays to be a hick from the sticks!
Cheers
