Review: Disney Skaters Great, Props So-So

JohnA: The ("Disney On Ice: High School Musical") skaters were great, as always, but the props were basic at best. Now, there's not much you can do to make an ice rink look like a basketball court, but I'm thinking a portable hoop on each side is on the low end of the scale. Past productions have been lavish, including the Lion King and Pirates sets of recent years, so maybe we've come to expect too much. This is Spokane, after all. But, when you're used to getting Disneyland and you end up with the Sixth Street Melodrama, it is a letdown. More here.

Question: Anyone else see the Disney on Ice production last week in Spokane?
