Olympic champions Brian Boitano, Kristi Yamaguchi and Apolo Anton Ohno will headline Boitano's television tribute to figure skating's classic shows.

"Brian Boitano's Skating Spectacular" will feature the elaborate productions of the Ice Follies and Ice Capades. The show will be performed at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Events Center Dec. 21. It will be shown on NBC on New Year's Day.

"Our new show will celebrate the glamorous ice shows of the past with Busby Berkeley-like production and comedy numbers," said Boitano, the 1988 Olympic gold medalist. "We have an incredible cast."

Joining Boitano, Yamaguchi (1992 gold medalist) and 2002 short-track speedskating champion Ohno will be En Vogue and Olympic silver-medal figure skater Nancy Kerrigan.
