Ashleigh Hope Berlien performs to 'Wicked' at Ice Theatre of New York's City Skate Concert in Harlem

"Ash was thrilled to be invited to perform with Ice Theater of New York! She is a 7th grader from Shoreview, Minnesota with a passion for ice skating that began at the age of 3, chasing her hockey playing older brothers around Dad’s homemade backyard rink. Ashleigh is now a high level competitive figure skater who is a USFS Triple Gold Medalist and loves to perform in shows any chance she gets! Ash saw Wicked on Broadway and was enthralled by Elphaba’s power and courage. She heard Defying Gravity and knew it was the perfect figure skating song." - Ash's mom
