Lord of the Dance
Lord of the Dance taps its way into Erwin Center
Fresh off the dancing heels of its 10th anniversary tour, Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance has announced its next lineup of more than 45 United States tour dates including Austin on April 17 at 7:30PM.
Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed and produced by Irish-American dancer, Michael Flatley. Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 as he dreamed of putting together a dance show capable of playing in arenas instead of traditional theaters. He soon began thinking of rhythm patterns and steps for an a capella number. This number would later become "Planet Ireland," the show's finale. The show took six months to bring it from conception to the stage.
The story follows the character "Lord of the Dance" and his fight against the evil dark lord "Don Dorcha" from taking over Planet Ireland. The “Lord of the Dance” defeats his invasion with help from a little spirit. There is also a story with a "love vs. lust" theme expressed through dance throughout the show. "Saoirse, the Irish Cailín" fights for the love of the "Lord of the Dance" against the wicked "Morrigan, the Temptress." The stories are based in ancient Irish folklore and a bit of Biblical references.
