War of the Nutcrackers: Evgeni Plushenko and Ilya Averbukh launch new shows in Moscow

A year ago, Yana Rudkovskaya reported in her Instagram that the next ice show with the participation of Evgeny Plushenko would be The Nutcracker. The project is already fully ready and will start on December 23 in the "Olympic".

Rudkovskaya does not occupy organizational skills: for several months there has been a competent promotion of the upcoming show. In the Instagrams of Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeni Plushenko, the latest news about the future performance appears regularly. The couple even attracted a young son, who appears on the social network pages in the Nutcracker costume, causing delight and affection of numerous subscribers.

However, as it turned out, Muscovites and guests of the capital will see not one, but two "Nutcrackers" at the end of December. And both - on the ice!

Ilya Averbukh launches his own "The Nutcracker" with Alexei Yagudin, Tatiana Totmyanina and Adeline Sotnikova

Soon after the "Nutcracker" Yevgeny Plushenko in Moscow, viewers will be able to visit the "Nutcracker" from Ilya Averbukh. December 28 show will take place in the Ice Palace of VTB.

In the production of Averbukh, several figure skating stars participated at once: Alexei Yagudin, Tatyana Totmianina, Adeline Sotnikova, Maxim Marinin.

The well-known choreographer did not arrange a loud advertising campaign for his new project, so for many fans of the ice show "The Nutcracker" Averbukh will be a real New Year's surprise. Ilya Averbukh has long been engaged in staging performances on ice. Thanks to his talent, the audience saw such ice performances as "12 months", "Kid and Carlson", "Bremen musicians", "Mama", "Carmen". Since 2006, Averbukh is the trainer and producer of the "Ice Age", which successfully every year goes on the First Channel. Undoubtedly, those who closely follow the activities of Ilya Averbukh and Yana Rudkovskaya understand that the two "Nutcrackers" will become the real competition of the two teams. In the spring of this year, the media was discussing "a strange coincidence". Recall that the "Nutcracker" Plushenko became known in early January, and the "Nutcracker" Averbukh - in April.

Ilya called this coincidence a coincidence, while Yana Rudkovskaya is sure that Averbukh specifically decided to take the same topic. What will come out of the battle of the two "Nutcrackers", it will be possible to find out very soon. One thing is obvious - the intrigue was a success ...
