MICHAEL FLATLEY’S LORD OF THE DANCE!

THE SMILING EYES OF IRELAND MEET THE EYES OF TEXAS -TICKETS GO ON SALE NOVEMBER 28 AT NOON!

It’s amazing how many people know about Irish dance because of Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance.  More than 50 million people in 45 countries have seen Lord of the Dance, making it the world’s highest grossing dance show since 1996.  These highly acclaimed dancers will be performing in Austin at The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center on January 6.  Tickets go on sale Monday, November 28 at Noon.  

Michael Flatley is the artistic director and the first American to win the All-World Championship in Irish Dance.  Flatley is also a Guinness Book World Record holder for  having "the world's fastest feet" at 35 taps per second.  
 
Described by the New York Post as "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as "a showpiece extravaganza," Lord of the Dance is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance.  The story is a classic tale of good vs. evil based on old Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, the Dark Lord, challenges the Lord of the Dance.  It is also a passionate love story that is expressed through dance numbers that transport audiences into a mystical and exhilarating world of intense passion. The action is played out over 21 scenes, on a grand scale of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting.
