When Broadway Hits the Ice: Figure Skating Routines Set to Showtunes

As the Olympic flame is lit and the world turns its eyes to the ice, we’re celebrating one of our favorite intersections of athleticism and artistry: figure skating set to Broadway music. From soaring ballads to high-energy showstoppers, Broadway scores have long provided the perfect soundtrack for skaters looking to tell a story, hit an emotional crescendo, or bring a little theatrical flair to the rink.

In honor of the Milano Cortina Olympic Games officially getting underway, we’re taking a look back at some unforgettable figure skating routines that glided, leapt, and spun their way through music straight from the stage.
