Sarah Hughes and Friends

[R.D.]

Wasn't there some old Disson show called "Sarah Hughes and Friends"? Anyone happened to have that show on tape or on the computer, or know when a re-broadcast is coming on?

Sarah Hughes & Friends took place in Long Island, NY on 10/28/05 and was aired on NBC in January 2006. Here is a link to pictures from the show:

Thanks for the pics.

I was hoping someone had a video as well (just want to see what the show consisted of)

If I recall correctly, the show was not very good. A lot of Hip Hop music, which I don't mind. I just remember watching it and thinking blech.

There are a few clips on YouTube.

Say,anyone happen to know if Sarah is copyrighted and alone herself with that type of show as a skater in her family from when she was skating? Or now that she's retired,can we expect an Emily Hughes and Friends sometime in the future?

Maybe Sarah and Emily could do a show together.

"Sarah Hughes & Cohorts" may have been a more suitable name.

Maybe Sarah and Emily could do a show together.

That could potentially be a possibility...but does Sarah still skate?

 

[FSWer]

Or maybe Sarah/Emily and friends. Or more approproppritely......The Hughes Kids and Friends. LOL. I'd love to see Emily try her hand at that.

I'm pretty sure that Sarah and Friends was part of her contract with Disson Skating, which manages SOI.

Ok,I'm lost. What is Disson? Never heard of them.

They're skating event producers (their shows are televised on NBC): http://www.dissonskating.com/

I liked the cast to the show, but I am definitely not into Ashanti music. I love Caryn Kadavy, but I can't imagine her skating to Ashanti. OTOH, several SOI cast members got to perform some of their previous seasons SOI numbers in that show - for example - Kyoko and John - "Look at Little Sister," and "Bed of Roses," Elena & Anton - "If I Could" & "Kalinka," Todd - "Let Me Entertain You," and "Il Mirto e La Rosa," so I keep coming back to those particular performances when I watch this show. I especially appreciate seeing these particular numbers because SOI A&E broadcasts in (almost) their entirety is no longer happening. Thank goodness not all of the music in the show was Ashanti or hip hop!

THIS photo is interesting. People always think of Sarah Hughes as being unusually tall for a skater, but Shae-Lynn Bourne and Caryn Kadavy are clearly an inch or two taller.​

Thanks for the video link...I was mainly looking for Sarah performances, though...how many did she do during the show?

 

[iluvtodd]

Based on the pictures, it looks like she skated to 2 single programs "My Immortal" and "La Tortura," and of course she participated in the group numbers (opening "Only U", finale "Fever" , and "Happy").

 

[R.D.]

<-- got to find those vids
