(PS My blog has finally reached the status of 'media'! :thumbsup: Here's my official very first plug...sadly, I get no swag, but hey I posted the questions I'd ask if I could actually go! )
DANNY AIELLO, NANCY KERRIGAN, BRIAN BOITANO
AND JOHNNY WEIR STAR IN FIRST-EVER TREE LIGHTING SKATE-TACULAR
AT BANK OF AMERICA WINTER VILLAGE AT BRYANT PARK
WHAT: New to the annual Tree Lighting, Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park presents an original theatrical ice skating show, narrated by Danny Aiello and starring Olympic skating greats: Nancy Kerrigan, Brian Boitano, Johnny Weir and Davis & White.
The Tree Lighting Skate-tacular is a holiday tale about a very special family on the night before Christmas, written for Bryant Park by New York playwright Jon Caren. The show features music from Big Band Holidays, a new album by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. The public can skate to live music curated by Jazz at Lincoln Center after the tree is lit.
The event, which coincides with Giving Tuesday and World AIDS Day, sustains the season of giving at Bryant Park by spotlighting Bank of America’s support of (RED). On this day, Bank of America is contributing $.30, the cost of a full day of life-changing medication, to (RED)’s fight against AIDS for every purchase made at participating Winter Village merchants with a Bank of America credit or debit card.
WHO:
• Danny Aiello—Academy Award nominated actor and native New Yorker
• Nancy Kerrigan—Two-time Olympic medalist and US National Champion
• Brian Boitano—1988 Olympic Gold Medalist, two-time World Champion and the first American skater to land a triple axel

• Meryl Davis and Charlie White—2014 Olympic Gold Medalists, two-time World Champions, and competitors on Dancing with the Stars
• The Haydenettes—synchronized skating team and 2015 National Gold Medalists
