More than 50 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance – the international Irish dancing extravaganza that has performed sold out shows at theaters, arenas and stadiums in more than 67 countries.

“Our success demonstrates the hunger people have to wholly submerge themselves into a world where dancers interpret every nuance of classic good versus evil through modern Celtic music,” says Flatley.

The 10th Anniversary Tour reflects Lord of the Dance’s ability to connect with the audience and initiate and captivate a new generation. Adding to the visceral and emotional impact are costumes, lighting and staging that are cinematic in scope.

“Make no mistake, Lord of the Dance begins where modern theatre ends,” adds Flatley, alluding to the 10th Anniversary Tour.

Flatley, who originated the role of the Lord, is the company’s Artistic Director, a position he has held since the troupe’s stunning 1996 debut in Dublin. Ten years later, his influence continues to resonate throughout every aspect of the production. Irish dance lovers and music fans alike will get another chance to experience the engaging, rhythmic adventure that has helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight. No wonder Lord of the Dance has amassed ticket sales of more than $800 million worldwide. During its highly profitable four-year residency in Las Vegas, an estimated two million people danced along in their seats. A standing ovation was not the exception – it was the rule. -- www.victoriatheatre.com
