The ice queen Elsa casts her chilly magic spell on Ontario next week for the Disney on Ice skating production of Academy Award-winning film “Frozen.”

The tour, presented by Feld Entertainment, will make its way to Ontario Citizens Business Bank Arena from Wednesday through Dec. 27.

Recognized for its Broadway-infused songs “Let It Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “For the First Time in Forever,” the 2013 Disney animated film about the loving yet conflicted bond between two princess sisters has had adults and children alike humming the songs and dressing in the characters’ signature styles.

The Disney on Ice environment is no different, says Performance Director Gig Siruno. Children commonly dress up in Disney costumes for the skating shows, but Siruno said it seems the adults are just as jazzed.

“One of my favorite things is to hear the audience sing all of the songs. Not just the children, the parents as well, who sometimes sing louder than their kids,” said Siruno. “To see everyone dressed up in their ‘Frozen’ and other Disney costumes is pretty incredible, and both parents and kids seem to know every single line of the film.”

In the usual Disney on Ice fashion, the show presents an assemblage of characters from various movies decked out in lustrous costumes, with vibrant sets that embody the films.

The main difference between this production and the company’s 33 past and present touring shows is that the storyline is centered on the highly successful “Frozen” princess tale.

The 2013 film became the highest-grossing animated film of all time, generating over $1 billion in global box office revenue. It also picked up Oscars for best animated feature and best song (“Let It Go”) that year.

Before presenting the “Frozen” story, the show opens with an introductory performance by Disney characters including Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Nemo and Dory, and various princes and princesses.

Ensemble skater Jeremie Boiser said the overall theme of the show is love.

“You see the love between the sisters Elsa and Anna, but you also see other forms of love, such as friendship and family,” said Boiser, a professional skater from Boisbriand, Quebec, who is making his Disney on Ice debut.

Siruno said the production uses a new spotlight technology to follow the performers on the ice.

“One of my favorite scenes to see the technology at work is during ‘Let It Go’ when Elsa is performing; we have 26 lights that follow her with four different types of snowflakes that trail behind her as she skates like a comet. It’s beautiful,” said Siruno, who has directed Disney on Ice for nearly 10 years.

A preshow event teaches kids the Snowman Dance, which they are encouraged to use during the show.
