What next, after La Belle et la Bete? A new musical comedy on ice, premiered in 2001 under a big circus tent in La Courneuve, with singers, musicians, horses, horse-drawn carriages and skaters choreographed by Olivia and Philippe Candeloro. To this were added acrobats on bungee cords, operating under a huge metallic tree representing the Sherwood Forest. The title role was given to Fernand Fedronic, who has the unique qualification of being both a multi-time French figure skating champion and an excellent singer, graduate of the Paris Conservatory.
