The Fabulous Ice Age, A Documentary Film on a Century of Theatrical Ice Skating by Keri Pickett from Keri Pickett on Vimeo.
“The Fabulous Ice Age”, spans a century and focuses on the formation of the great American touring ice shows Ice Follies, Ice Capades, Sonja Henie’s Hollywood Ice Review and Holiday on Ice. This is the story of how a handful of people changed the world of entertainment and one show skater – Roy Blakeys’ quest to make sure their history is not forgotten.
Fondly recalling their “gypsy” lifestyles, the ice show world’s producers, pioneers and skating stars speak about the triumphs and tragedies on the road as the “Fabulous Ice Age” introduces us to the people who created the art form of dancing on a stage of ice… and it is FABULOUS!
