Disney on Ice Dares to Dream in Manchester, 16 Oct

The ice skating spectacular returns to celebrate 20 years in Manchester next week.

Disney On Ice presents Dare To Dream combines the contemporary stories of two modern day princesses, Rapunzul and Tiana, with the classic elegance of Cinderella and Snow White in a celebration of royal proportions.

This year marks the 20th anniversary since Disney On Ice first performed in Manchester, and the ice spectacular will play Manchester's Phones 4u Arena from 16th-20th October 2013 for nine performances.

Audiences begin their journey in New Orleans with Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, and travel to the enchanted forest as Snow White escapes from the Evil Queen and finds her one true love. The trip continues as dreams become reality when Cinderella meets her Prince Charming, and Rapunzel discovers the world beyond her tower on her quest to see the floating lanterns.

"There's something within each of the stories of Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella and Snow White that speaks families around the world," says Producer Nicole Feld.

"Each of these princesses is searching for what truly makes them happy. I think that's very reflective of what audiences are like today."
