Darina's report about the show. Unfortunately in Russian-she speaks English very well- so this is a google translating. Not too good.... Probably as every great and well-konwn fan she received free tickets for all shows from Yana...( Probably thank to Cekoni and Irina's work)
Hello everyone! :
At Christmas, traveled to St. Petersburg for Plushenko. Petersburg - it is my great love and miss rare performances of Eugene where I can not.
This time I had the opportunity to attend several shows and sit on the ground! : Thank you very much administrators Svetlana, Irina and Vera for their help and friendship. Svetlana (Cekoni) first saw live. Very happy about that! (By the way, not only to me, because the show director A. Golubev was also happy to see Cekoni first greeted and shook her hand!
At the first show Vera, Irina and Svetlana sat me on the very first row, and I saw skaters near. Amazing and very unusual! Insanely beautiful lighting, scenery, beautiful faces, costumes could be considered in detail.
Perfectly clear that the suit of the same color with Prince Eugene eyes that proudly sailing coach in the Snow King by "friends" on the ground, he sometimes can not help but laugh as beautiful blond hair fluttering when he throws a helmet - just great!
I noticed a smiling Joubert, he did not like the usual self, such melancholy. I admired the play of Johnny Weir and Irina Slutskaya, their facial expressions! Well, the long-awaited battle Gerda room with Snow King I finally conquered: sparks fly between them when they look into each other's eyes, and the room just does not breathe! Gorgeous work and the army of the King, they Zhenya synchronous movement fascinate.
My favorite scene too - Ball at the beginning of the show: the full feeling that you are in the theater! Costume and fine lines Prince. Charming Yakimenko and Graetz playing clowns, pretty ballet. You can look at it endlessly.
Joint number Snow King and Kai's - it's just a gift to all lovers of figure skating. Very cool, unusual, a charming and, I would say, sculpturally.
I think that all skaters in the show presented in a favorable light, non-delivered them with great taste. The same "Shaman" Joubert - excellent thoughtful work! Or Irina Slutskaya. She is charming in the role of Gerda! For some reason I remembered how she acted in TV shows Averbuch a duet with Taranda, always in the shadow of a few favorites Tarasova. But here she shines - a star and a real beauty!
I do not know what to say about a couple Joubert-Gerboldt, it is better to keep quiet. But Katharina I really liked the film, which aired during the show - she's incomparable looks. And yet in this mini-movie, my favorite moment - the reincarnation of Prince in Snow King. Beautiful!
On the first day I liked the whole show as a whole. Although I looked in advance on YouTube rooms skaters, found that here that I need to survive jugglers and acrobats. Viewers something they just really like, but I have to wait. This does not apply to rooms "Ravens" E. and A. Chesney, which I was very touched, and awesome gymnasts on trampoline in the scene fairs! But at the last show I already Safronovy generally almost like they were somehow podinamichnee.
In real life, the audience took the best magicians, acrobats, Plushenko and Slutskaya, but others also perceive heat. Of the show, which was me, the most emotional reception was at the feast on January 7, and the most sleepy audience was on Monday, and understandably so.
Two shows were the British and the Japanese delegation, they sat on the front row along with a miniature Jana Rudkovskoja, they, too, liked everything: the circus, and figure skaters. I must say that the Japanese with some particular respect for Zhenya, so they applauded!
More, sitting on the ground, you could see relatives there Zhenya: his sister with her daughters, parents and sons Yana and, of course, the little Sasha.
January 6, I also visited the morning workout. Jack on ice almost was not able to look at Thomas, John and Brian, Irina Katarina and others. The guys all together, joke, make fun of each other, applauding successful jump. We also applauded, especially Johnny, when he performed a triple axel and stages 3-3, I hope he does not hurt, but it was nice. The next morning I did not go to the gym and did the right thing, because Zhenya, I was told our girls have been busy with the Japanese delegation.
Eugene saw behind the scenes on the first day after the day's show: came to be photographed with fans. Appeared in the hallway with his half black shiny golden head in a black tracksuit, thin as a rake, and squeezed like a lemon. Then, as the girl said, he returned to the ice to rehearse with Sashenka their way out to the audience on the birthday of the baby.
During the presentation of Eugene, of course, fire, good looking, confident, charismatic, as always. In my opinion, he is the most spectacular and beautiful skater, with its aristocratic appearance, subtlety, posture and lines. Ofigitelen especially in his snow-white coach: well, just an ancient Roman deity, if still not laughing / bullies, of course.
Despite the fact that this show-tale - the idea and the brainchild of Eugene, he was there, as I understand it, go into all the questions and participate in everything, and there is an opportunity to show not only the artistry and technique and put in the rooms, I still came the question: "is this all that he needs and he bored?" of course, no one knows but himself.
I did not get any one photo, thank you so that there are people who know how to shoot and photograph not only good, but also artistically as Svetochka Polnyakova! And of course, thanks to Vera, Irina and Svetlana for video training shows and backstage, it is also necessary to be able, and you need to have the courage and tact to shoot celebrities for all of us.
Needless to say, it was for me the magic Christmas holidays that I will remember with warmth and gratitude!
Good luck to the whole team, "Snow King" in the future tour!
