27 Dec 2021

Description

This is the story of a 90s Irish traditional song and dance phenomenon that captivated a worldwide audience. Modern stage production mixed with traditional dance to create a dynamic for of entertainment that had mothers and Ren Faire geeks swooning. The rockstar of it all, Michael Flatley, eventually found himself dissatisfied under creator Bill Whelan’s wing. Flately broke off and created his own show, The Lord of the Dance; which positioned its star as some sort of Celtic dance god sex symbol. This much power always creates a little drama, as we know too well here in dumpville.
