Holiday On Ice

  • Review
  • Thursday, December 18, 2008

Around the World in 80 Days is in Athens from the 12th until the 21st of December 12th - 21st at the Tae Kwon Doe Stadium, in Paleo Faliro. This free adaptation is an exhilarating adventure which takes the young audience into a journey of discovery across the globe as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck compete in a wacky race. Bugs and his classic Looney Tunes friends hit the ice running in a fun-filled parody of Jules Verne's novel. 

The show is based on the Jules Verne (1828-1905) best seller Around the World in 80 Days published for the first time in 1872.  Since then, the book has become one of the most translated stories of all time and one of the most popular novels in the world.  Holiday on Ice is successfully adapting Jules Verne's masterpiece, with a Looney Tunes' touch.  The show will tour under the title "Around the World in 80 Minutes" and will feature Phileas Fogg and Passepartout visiting different countries as they race around the globe.  But this time they will also meet up with Bugs Bunny and all the favourite Looney Tunes characters - Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Speedy Gonzales, Granny, and the Tasmanian Devil - all of which are having a competition of their own.  The result is a zany, whacky adventure, with all the fun of the classic Warner Bros. cartoons, with music, explosions, laughs and of course the world class skating that is the trademark of Holiday on Ice.

"Around the World in 80 Minutes" is sure to delight fans young and old alike.  TRAM Lines : Aristoteles 4 : Syntagma Square - SEF and Thucydides 3 : SEF - Asklipio Boulas, Station: Aghia Skepi.  Tickets range from 4 - 48 Euros, depending on day and zone.  For more information and booking, please call 210 88 40 600 or ticketnet.
