The latest Disney on Ice production is drawing audiences in Chicago with its fantastic skating, multi-storylines and bright sets.

Disney on Ice's "Jump In!" continues to Feb. 15 at The United Center in Chicago. The show features more than 50 characters and is filled with beloved scenes from various Disney stories from "Encanto" and "Frozen" to "Toy Story" and more.

Audience members will delight in seeing beloved characters including Mickey and Minnie, Goofy and Donald to Elsa, Tiana, Snow White, Stitch, Olaf, Rapunzel and others. 

Among standout numbers are "Let It Go," "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Try Everything."

The show features new characters from "Moana 2" and "Inside Out 2" and plenty of exciting aerial performances.

Talented skaters, including Andrew Austin, who hails from the Chicago area, help bring the characters and scenes to life. 

"This is my fifth season with Disney on Ice," Austin said, adding his love of skating began in childhood.

Austin said he's happy to have turned his "passion" into a job in the skating world.

"This is a really fun show," Austin said about "Jump In!" The skater performs as Kristoff from "Frozen" and also in the ensemble. According to Austin, it's an honor to be part of Disney on Ice. He said skating has always been exciting for him and being on the ice is truly a "magical" feeling.

Austin said he hopes audience members enjoy the experience of seeing "Jump In!"

"It's not just for kids. It's for everyone," Austin said.

FYI: Disney on Ice's "Jump In!" runs to Feb. 15 at The United Center, Chicago. Visit www.ticketmaster.com and www.DisneyonIce.com.
