Congrats to Plushy and the Snow King team for a successful run in Moscow and St. Petersburg! :cheer: I will patiently await news of the show's further travels. :)
 
I believe they had their last show in St Petersburg today. Johnny has a picture of them celebrating the final show. Irina is already on her way to Moscow aas she has another show on the 10th.

So that's it then? or do we know the dates of any other shows in other countries?

There was some talk (in one of his interviews?) about doing ~20 shows in Germany, but I don't think any contracts are signed yet.

Maria Stavitskaya went to the show in St. Petersburg:

Ah I see, thanks. Even if they aren't shows in other countries, I hope there is a dvd or something. Congrats to them on a successful tour.

I think that, with this success, it is almost a guaranteed thing that there will be other shows - the questions are rather, when, where &c. Hopefully we will have news soon - I'm sure they will want to strike while the iron is hot! :)
 
Cute!

I can't believe they will be competing against each other next week for the first time in 5 years! :shocked: Btw, anyone know if there will be a live stream for the Medal Winners Open?

Good question!!!! If will be live stream we will know it from Plushy's Japanese fans. For me that is a very interesting question, what will be Plushy's program???? BoP or the Rus Nat gala number to Leps song?? The BoP was skated many times in Japan, the new number isn't too good for pro competition.


edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyHq6wqviwU&feature=youtu.be I love when he is happy... :yay: nice video about the finale.
I like the Russians always give great bouquets of flowers for every occasion!! This is a very nice custom.

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!
 
Good question!!!! If will be live stream we will know it from Plushy's Japanese fans. For me that is a very interesting question, what will be Plushy's program???? BoP or the Rus Nat gala number to Leps song?? The BoP was skated many times in Japan, the new number isn't too good for pro competition.
What if he revived something he hasn't skated to in a long, long time (from 1999-2005)?

What would be a good program for him to use? Maybe St. Petersburg 300?

Funny, I was rewatching St. Petersburg 300 just now. However, I was thinking about Adagio (and its StSq) at the time I wrote the post... But it's probably too short. :think: How many pitchforks will come after me if I say Carmen? :laugh:
 
Some details about this "Pro" competition from ISU PDF... http://evgeni-plushenko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=320&p=86129&hilit=MWO#p86129

INTERNATIONAL OPEN FIGURE SKATING COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT
MEDAL WINNERS OPEN – JANUARY 16, 2015 –
YOYOGI NATIONAL GYMNASIUM TOKYO – JAPAN

GENERAL REGULATIONS
The Competition will be conducted in accordance with the International Skating Union Constitution, General Regulations 2014 and the International Skating Union Special Regulations for Figure Skating and Technical Rules for Single & Pair Skating 2014 and related ISU Communications.

ENTRIES
The eligible skaters will be invited through respective ISU Members. The ISU Member that the ineligible skaters formerly represented will be notified of their participation.
....

SINGLES SKATING – LADIES AND MEN
The innovation to be tried out in accordance with ISU Rule 367 is to conduct an Open competition with an ISU free skating program only. The required elements for this program will be modified as follows:
- A well balanced program with emphasis on artistic merit will be performed by each competitor.
- The program duration will be 3 minutes and 30 seconds +/- 10 seconds for men and 3 minutes +/- 10 seconds for ladies.
- Competitors should perform (3) jumps of double or more rotations. One of which can be a combination of (2) jumps or a sequence of any number of jumps. If a sequence is performed, the 2 most difficult jumps will be counted.
- Any 3 spins but with different abbreviations
- (1) choreographic sequence
- Any music including vocal can be used
- Theatrical lighting of performances will be allowed
- No free standing props such as a chair, table or piano will be allowed but carried or worn props such as a hat, cape, sword, cane, umbrella, etc. will be allowed.
- Judging panel will consist of five (5) ISU judges.
- The panel’s points for each Program Component are then multiplied by a factor as follows: Men: 1.0; Ladies: 0.8


I think a Short Program would be enough... like the Adagio. I adore the Carmen I would be happy to see that program again. But I think this would be the best choice to that competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-7c-9GqE3Q - Mack the Knife . He shows his jazzy side, funny, entertaining, and he skated once in 2010.

I know it is a "competition" but since it is basically retired athletes, do they get paid to come ad do it?
 
^You're right, something like Mack the Knife probably works better in a pro competition. I'm just really missing the StSq in Adagio. He did have many fun, audience-oriented programs in the early years, but I dunno if those will work today (Dark Eyes, MJ Medley ect. had their place... but I just can't see Plushy skating to them today).

Yes, they all get a little something, depending on their placement.

Prize money for men and ladies will be:

1st = $45,000

3rd = $35,000
4th = $20,000

I would love to see Adagio too...unlikely as it might be. And while we are making wishes, how about a new, non-black costume, please? :laugh:
