CT is beautiful, but cold nights can be brutal for me. The train is especially bad, because the seats are metal. If you do go, obviously be sure to wear warms layers, but also consider bringing a warm scarf or something to lay across the train bench.
Also, warm drinks help me a lot.

Can we just not have children in a show?? Please?
Agreed 100%. One of my ONLY gripes about Scrooge No More was that the child actor got borderline distracting. It got to the point where the show seemed to focus too much on his age alone, saying "Look at this cute kid we hired! Ain't he adorable?!"
Whereas using a child actor to play a crucial part in a telling of A Christmas Carol may have been unavoidable, I can't see how such a necessity will arise in this show. This makes me fear that the show will employ children skating around just to further flaunt the "cuteness" card.

BGT's Christmas Ice Show had kids in it as elves. I have to say they weren't entirely that bad, at least they didn't talk. I don't get why BGW took up that idea too, I would've preferred them not to. But I seriously hope this show comes out better than BGT's Christmas on Ice, I was not impressed by that.
Two rules in theater...
1. No kids: Kids = back stage moms. They are evil and always in the way.
2. No animals: They do not take direction well and inevitably screw up their blocking by running into the audience.
The only acceptable exception to these rules are when the show is so bad that you need distractions.

Oh s$&@! Elvis Stojko! I remember his Olympic career. He was very entertaining and extremely talented...well, one of the best in the world. Like Scott Hamilton, he was known for backflips. I'd see the show now just 'cuase he's in it.
A permit has been filed for what I believe is the extension of the RPT stage for 'Twas that Night. I say that because Pete Dunklee said at the announcement last month that they were "bringing the ice into the crowd." So I would imagine it will be similar to the Kinetix/Imaginque stage extensions/runways, except with ice this time around. Anyways, here's a screenshot of the permit:

Here's a picture I just got of the construction of the Royal Palace Theatre stage extension for 'Twas that Night. More pictures are coming soon!

If they can do it on the KD theater stage, they can do it anywhere. Look up Paramount on ice Zimmy. It is quite humorous.
Remember folks, it's not an ice skating competition. It's a show on ice. Think Disney ice shows. Those rinks aren't that big either and when you think of the type of play this is I doubt we are going to be seeing any crazy olympic style moves.
Here are the pictures I have compiled of the 'Twas That Night construction as of this past Sunday, after waiting in a very long Catacombs line:

As you can see, the stage extension is coming along, new lighting has been installed, and work is happening in a nearby planter which corresponds to this digging ticket. I don't know what exactly the work is for, other than a planned foundation/footer at this point though. Hopefully we will find out soon.
Also, permits have been filed for the ice surface and cooling system.
