What this is
Prince Ice World 2025-2026 PIW THE MUSICAL is a Broadway-inspired ice show produced by the Prince Ice World team, one of Japan's most established professional ice entertainment companies. The production brings together an exceptional lineup of Olympic and world-class Japanese figure skaters to perform theatrical routines set to Broadway musical themes. Guest performers include Olympic gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa, fan favourites Yuki Muramoto and Daisuke Takahashi, Nobunari Oda, Wakaba Higuchi, Yuma Kagiyama, Keiji Tanaka, and speed skating star Miho Takagi. The show blends elite athletic performance with theatrical spectacle, making it a rare crossover event that appeals to both figure skating fans and lovers of musical theatre.
Who should go
This show is ideal for figure skating fans who want to see Olympic-level talent in an intimate theatrical setting rather than a competition arena. Families with children will find the Broadway musical theme and dazzling costumes highly engaging, while fans of Japanese sports celebrities will relish the rare chance to see multiple stars on the same ice. The theatrical production values make it equally appealing to those with no prior interest in skating who simply enjoy live performance spectacle. Book tickets early as shows featuring this calibre of skater tend to sell out quickly.
Good to know
Tickets are typically available through eplus.jp, pia.jp, and Lawson Ticket — all three platforms accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. SAGA Arena is a large modern multipurpose arena that opened in 2023 with a capacity of approximately 10,000, offering both seated and floor configurations; for ice shows, seating is typically tiered around the rink. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to collect merchandise and locate your seat, as the arena is large and signage may be primarily in Japanese. The venue is a short taxi or bus ride from Saga Station on the JR Nagasaki Main Line, which connects to Hakata (Fukuoka) in under an hour. Cash is recommended for in-venue purchases such as food, drinks, and official goods, though the arena's newer facilities may accept card payments at some counters.
