INTERNATIONAL
HIT DRAWS RAVE REVIEWS
AND STANDING OVATIONS
Wednesday,
November 28, 2001:
Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, the international and innovative
smash Celtic hit returns to Toronto's Hummingbird Centre for
three performances only on March 15 & 16, 2002. The Irish
spectacle features world-class dancing by a cast of more than
30 extraordinarily gifted performers.
The
production's story is based on old Irish folklore as Don Dorcha,
the Dark Lord, challenges the Lord of the Dance. It is the eternal
struggle of evil vs. good, and it is played out on a grand scale
with precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and
thrilling pyrotechnics. This Celtic spectacle routinely earns
standing ovations.
Michael
Flatley, who originated the role of the Lord, remains the artistic
director for Lord of the Dance, and oversees all aspects of
this Celtic dance phenomenon. He originally opened the show
in Dublin in 1996 and saw its success take off immediately.
"It's
such a different form of dance… What I'm doing here is
an accelerated version of Irish traditional dance and at the
same time, I have incorporated the upper body movement and all
of the arm movements, " said Flatley. "It's not done
like ballet. It's not done like tap, and it's not done like
flamenco. It's something that I had to create from scratch because
nothing else would fit there."
The
Los Angeles Times calls it "a showpiece extravaganza"
and the New York Post calls it "fascinating, rewarding
and above all, entertaining."
