When a hard working waitress, deep in the South, has the voice of Whitney Houston and the looks of Miss America you have a Disney Princess in the making…. Tiana. Disney fans everywhere will have the opportunity to see Tiana on ice as Disney on Ice Celebrate Memories tours the United States and comes to Baltimore’s Royal Farms Arena this February 5th-9th. What makes this performance most memorable is that Hope Alexander, skating the roll of Tiana, is a hometown girl right from Charm City, Baltimore! Yes…. there’s a local story behind the magic and I had the most amazing opportunity to interview this self made princess and her story will warm your heart just as she’s warmed mine!!
Talk about a life long passion…? Hope’s mom took her skating at the young age of 2 probably never realizing, at the time anyway, that she’d develop a life long love that would launch her into the most amazing career where she’d be loved by audiences all over the world. Although Ms. Alexander sometimes find it difficult to move from City to City touring all over during her skating contract, she’s learned to live on the go and has actually come to look forward to the next adventure in the next city but, she says Baltimore holds a special place in her heart!! She’s loves good ‘ol Maryland Crabs with lots of seasonings and dinners with family. Her roots run deep in the Mid-Atlantic region because her mother is from Baltimore as well and she knows friends and family will be cheering her on when she tours Maryland.
Have you ever dreamed of touring with Disney on Ice? Hope says you have to love what you do and do what you love and then it will shine thru! She developed a video of her skating and contacted Disney on Ice and the rest is history you can see in person while in town at the Royal Farms Arena. Tickets are very reasonable and start at just $20 for this top notch performance.
I wondered what it felt like to be cheered on from audiences all over the world but Hope says what brings the most joy to her is seeing a young child dressed as Tiana. She says she gets to live the dream and sometimes it’s hard to believe that her life has moved in such a magical direction. Would you like to see Hope Alexander?
