I wish she would perform on home soil or at least in North America. I wonder how/why Sasha Cohen is skating with Yuna?

[synnabun]

I agree... it would be nice to see her perform in person, but the fact that we'll get to see her skate again at all is just awesome! I hope this is an accurate announcement and not some premature rumor.

You should be able to get all the answers to your questions here or here.
Tickets will go on sale beginning June 23rd, but they did not release any info regarding the admission price or the ‘ticketmaster’ number just yet.

[skatesindreams]

What wonderful news!
I'm awaiting details, as they develop.
I envy those who will be able to attend the show.

[michellesmom]

LOL at the translation, "handsome single man John Zimmerman".

[Sparks]

Maybe YuNa invited her.

I bet Silvia Fontana would have something to say about the "handsome single man" statement.

[aftertherain]

Why can't she? o.O

[gratefulmkfan]

This is very exciting. I hope it will be streamed live, online as they did in August. That was my most fabulous "sitting in front of the computer memory" of all time, and I've had a PC since there were PC's. This gratefulmkfan at the thought of two more journeys with her majesty. Thank you, thank you, thank you Michelle. (Have lots of fun too.)

Hmmm...where are Grace and Heather? I'm surprised we haven't heard from either of them, if this is official. Trying to be realistic here, but I much rather ride the "happy, happy, joy, joy balloon" for a while.

[tarotx]

Why can't she? o.O

The poster probably just meant because Sasha often skates at the IMG event that's happening now and not the Yu Na event.

Ditto. Loved the show last August and looking forward to July!!! Supposedly Michelle has 2 new programs, heck she can skate any program new or old
I don't care. I am just thrilled to see her skate again. Sure do miss her on the ice.

[breannaw]

MICHELLIANKWANJUEZ, YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!. Thank goodness. I have been so worried about you and thank you for the info on Michelle. That is AWESOME NEWS. I can hardly wait to see her skate again. That has made my day. A short time ago, I thought nothing else could make this day better, but hearing this tops that news!!!. YAY MICHELLE!!.

[MKPerfect6.0]

This is great news, I was all ready to start digging my den and begin hibernating till October.
Cannot wait to see her skate!!


ETA: Not to be greedy, butt, she did mention in her Christmas post that would be skating in front of the her US fans soon, could we possibly be getting two events from Michelle??

Oh, Breanna! Thank you for being such a sweetheart when you really should be making this kind of face at me. I owe you a pretty long e-mail, but my arms feel so extremely heavy right now that even typing up these few lines feels really uncomfortable, so, I’ll send you a message as soon as my arms feel normal again.

[breannaw]

Michelliankwanjuez, you dont owe me anything. I am just happy to hear you are alive and posting again. I don't like that your arms are hurting you. Please take your time ok.I'm just happy to hear that your somewhat ok. I'll email you or send you a PM.
Oh yeah, the dog is precious. He or she looks like my Corgi, but without the tail. I'm not making faces at you. just smiling that you are ok. hugs and prayers.

[Rick In San Jose]

In the photos from Michelle's skating appearance in South Korea last August, as well as those from her diplomatic mission there last January, I saw more happiness and joy in her face than at any other times and places. She must have received absolutely wonderful receptions from the South Korean people both times. I can thus easily see why she would want to return there to skate again.

[gatzbee]

wow! looking forward to it! sasha would be an interesting addition, but right now yuna is such a star in korea, and if i remember the crowds were great last yr, so i can see sasha wanting to get in on the opportunity if offered.

[kwanatic712]

AWESOME!!

That's great news! I hate that she won't be here in the US but beggars can't be choosers. All I wanted was to see her skate again and it looks like I'll be getting my wish!

Yeah, I was a little when I saw Sasha's name, but she's a well-known name over there too. The question is who will the crowd go crazier for? Michelle or Sasha? LOL! Like I need to even ask that question! Last year the crowd greeted Michelle with the same kind of arena-shaking appalause that they gave Yu-Na. I'm sure it'll be just like last time with Michelle as the co-headliner; Sasha will probably be relegated to regular cast member, as it should be. In terms of star power in Korea, nothing burns brighter than Yu-Na. And then there's the skating legend and Yu-Na's inspiration, Michelle. It doesn't get any bigger than those two.

Sasha is the star on SOI because most of the time she's the biggest name there. But with Michelle and Yu-Na there, Sasha's star power pales in comparison; those two ladies burn so much brighter than she does...

[debbwin]

TWO NEW PROGRAMS.....Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As grateful said, I'm looking forward to watching her live on my computer (hopefully) early in the morning like last year.

I'm in heaven.
