Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars Skates Into Gainbridge Fieldhouse Jan. 20-24, 2027

Mickey, Minnie and dozens of their friends are lacing up their skates for a trip downtown. Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars comes to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for 10 performances from Jan. 20-24, 2027, with 56 Disney stars sharing the ice. Producers say that is the most Disney characters in one show.

The cast list reads like a family movie shelf: Elsa and Anna from Frozen 2, Asha from Wish, Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon, Mirabel, Moana, Tiana, Woody and Buzz, and more. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and in person at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse box office.

Every Story Starts With a Wish

Magic in the Stars follows Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy through timeless tales and newer favorites. The adventure begins when the North Star shines brightly and descends upon Jiminy Cricket, who welcomes the audience with a reminder that the most fantastic, magical things can happen, and it all starts with a wish.

From there, the wishes keep coming. Tiana from The Princess and the Frog works to make her dream of opening a restaurant come true. Aladdin discovers the power of three wishes when he finds a magic lamp in the Cave of Wonders. Cinderella, Snow White, Belle and Rapunzel remind the audience to never stop wishing and dreaming.

The show also travels to Rosas, the kingdom of wishes, to meet the optimistic and sharp-witted Asha. Her impassioned plea to the stars is answered by a cosmic force, a little ball of boundless energy named Star. Together they face the most formidable of foes to save her community.

Favorite Characters on the Ice and in the Air

The production brings its stories to life through figure skating, high-flying acrobatics, stunts, lighting, special effects, costumes and set designs. Some of the biggest moments happen above the ice. Raya, the warrior from Raya and the Last Dragon, ascends into the air for an aerial acro-pole routine.

Families can also look for these scenes:

  • Frozen 2: Elsa and Anna escape “Into the Unknown.”
  • Cars: Disney and Pixar’s Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater cruise on the ice to “Life Is a Highway.”
  • Toy Story: Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Rex and Hamm reunite.
  • Encanto: The show travels to the mountains of Colombia, where the Madrigal family lives, to unlock the magic in the family’s casita and discover why “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”
  • Moana: Moana sets sail on her canoe into the open ocean and encourages Te Kā to “Know Who You Are” and transform into Te Fiti.

By the finale, the message for kids is a simple one: everyone has dreams they want to come true, and the brightest light shines inside each of them.
