Celtic Fusion
Unfortunately, the Celtic Fusion website has no explanation as to what it is they do, besides calling themselves a "Celtic rock musical," which sounds rather interesting.
Celtic Legends
Another show without a storyline on its website. Gerard Hayes (formerly of Lord of the Dance) is the featured dancer in this show, which looks like yet another man’s version of Lord.
Celtic Tiger
Michael says, “Celtic Tiger portrays the oppression of a people. The tiger itself symbolizes the awakening of their spirit in the struggle for freedom. The show itself is a 90-minute spectacular. It is very fast moving, powerful and hard-hitting and I think that it is something that you have never seen before.”
Dance of Desire
When the wife of the King Lir died, he married her sister Aoife. Because of the great love for his four children, their stepmother became insanely jealous and plotted a terrible revenge. The king’s love for his children brought down a terrible curse on them which held them in bondage for nine hundred years.
Dancing Thru The Ages
“Discover the magic and beauty of Ireland’s colourful culture in a fresh and exciting show that will take you on a journey through the history of Irish dance, music and song. Based in one of Ireland’s most historical towns, Youghal, Co. Cork.”
Gaelforce Dance
Gaelforce Dance is the story of two lovers, Lorcan and Aisling who, as our tale begins, are blissfully unaware of the passion that will erupt between them, leading the lovers inio a maelstrom of forbidden love and their community into a cauldron of hate.
Lord of the Dance
“Since opening at The Point in Dublin on 2nd July 1996, Lord of the Dance has enjoyed a vast array of accolades. … [A] total of four other simultaneous touring troupes continue to break box office records in Japan, South Africa, Europe and the USA.”
Magic of the Dance
“A wonderful love story is carried by breathtaking dance routines, explosive tap sequences and highly refined footwork in a melodic and rhythmical revue. The charm of the Irish dancing is supported by elements of other dance styles, making it a unique experience.”
The Pirate Queen
“Celebrating the real-life story of legendary Irish Chieftain Grace O’Malley, The Pirate Queen combines classic storytelling and the vibrant traditions of Irish dance and song, to create a new musical event and an epic romance.” It’s more musical, less dancing.
Rhythm of the Dance
“This richly costumed show represents an entirely new concept in Irish Entertainment using the genuine spirit of our national dances, songs and storytelling married to the most contemporary stage technology.”
Riverdance
“Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland in the past decade – in rock, music, theatre and film – nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance.”
