LORD OF THE DANCE
is a classic tale of good versus evil, based on Irish folklore that
brings a romantic and passionate love story to life. The story is based
upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges
the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. Battle lines are
drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and
turns of dancers’ bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic
rhythm. The show includes 21 scenes of precision dancing, dramatic
music, new colorful wardrobes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting.
Irish
dance lovers and music fans alike will experience the engaging,
rhythmic adventures that helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish
dancing into the global spotlight. The New York Post raves LORD OF THE DANCE is “fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining.” The Los Angeles Times states it is “a showpiece extravaganza.”
Generations of audiences, more than 60 million people from 68 countries, have seen LORD OF THE DANCE.
Speaking about the show’s updates, Flatley says, “We have fresh
wardrobes and an exciting new set featuring elements from the successful
international tour I performed in last year – we sold out more than 20
dates in the UK. Fans will see technological highlights like video
incorporated into an LED wall, as well as a number of changes to the
overall lighting and set designs.” Flatley retired from dancing in 2011
and is Artistic Director of LORD OF THE DANCE, overseeing all aspects of the production. LORD OF THE DANCE ticket sales exceed more than $800 million worldwide.
Along
with Dance Director Marie Duffy-Pask, Flatley handpicked the cast of
over 40 dancers. Each has achieved individual recognition as a national
or worldwide dance champion. Lee Marshall, CEO of MagicSpace
Entertainment, the tour promoter and veteran of blockbuster
entertainment events agrees stating, “These championship dancers have
captivated a new generation of fans, and manage the impossible every
night. Their collective spirit and energy takes the audience to a time
and place that is as imaginative as it is inviting.”
