The Holiday Ice Spectacular Shares the Spirit of the Season this December

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre Transforms Into Icy Wonderland

This winter, you’re invited to a seasonal show-stopper like no other with world-class skaters and entertainers setting the ice on fire at The Holiday Ice Spectacular. Join the colorful cast as they create a glittering world of holiday cheer December 16-24 and let the quick-witted humor and dazzling performances captivate as these outstanding athletes take to the ice-covered stage at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
Henry, a charming, yet mischievous elf has decided (against orders) to let the audience experience the wonder of the North Pole. He and his wife will keep you roaring in your seats with their adult-friendly comic relief peppered throughout the show. You’ll see everything from a Hannukah celebration to an intricate line dance performed on skates. Humorous vignettes, a 12-minute bite of The Nutcracker and flawless skating filled with awe-inspiring catches and gravity-defying leaps will keep you entranced throughout the entire production.

“It’s exciting to be back home in Atlanta producing The Holiday Ice Spectacular during the most festive and reflective time of year,” says Jeb K. Rand, creator of The Holiday Ice Spectacular. “It was our goal to create a holiday revue that will redefine year-end traditions for years to come, and I believe our audiences will agree that we’ve done just that.”

The Holiday Ice Spectacular is the perfect way to spend a night out with your family, friends, or coworkers, and is just right for a delightfully surprising date. Tickets range in price from $25 to $89 and are available via Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.com. Special VIP and group packages are also offered at select prices and discount levels.

Developed by Rand Family Entertainment, The Holiday Ice Spectacular is produced and directed by Cobb County native Jeb K. Rand, whose entertainment career began when he was just a small child with a passion for skating. A former nationally-ranked U.S. pairs figure skater, Jeb’s professional skating career spanned over a decade and included principal roles with Ice Capades, Disney on Ice, and Stars on Ice – Italian Tour. He and his wife and skating partner, Jen, were also featured in Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular from 1998 through 2005. His love for creating magical stories and shows that transform the stage provides the perfect segue into his current creative role as the President and Executive Producer of Rand Enterprises & Productions Inc., where he now serves as the creative force behind productions taking place around the world.

Showtimes: The Holiday Ice Spectacular will open December 16. Shows will run though December 23 with select matinee performances, including one on December 24. For more information or a detailed list of show times, please visit www.holidayicespectacular.com.

The tour features thrilling performances by this season’s most beloved performers including the winner, singer/songwriter Michael Grimm, baroque opera singer Prince Poppycock, black light performance artists Fighting Gravity, illusionist supreme Michael Grasso and more. Additionally, the incomparable Jerry Springer acts as host and MC.

Classical singer Jackie Evancho will be appearing at select tour dates, as her parents have determined that it is in the 10-year-old’s best interest not to overextend her tour performance responsibilities. Evancho will appear at upcoming tour stops in Minneapolis, MN; Milwaukee, WI; New York, NY; Richmond, VA; Boston, MA; Washington, D.C. and Greensboro, NC.
