The World’s Highest Grossing Dance Show Since 1996 Brings High Octane Celtic Dance to San Jose Center for the Performing Arts
There’s something about dance shows that gets better with age. Or maybe it’s simply good ol’ boy, strong, Irish stock. Irishman Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance, a global phenomenon, has both. More than 50 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance -- the international Irish dancing extravaganza that has performed sold out shows at theaters, arenas and stadiums in more than 67 countries. Visiting more than 40 cities in the U.S. next year, the show is scheduled to dance its way into the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts from November 23-24 for 3 shows only. Tickets at http://www.sjtix.com/, or call: 1-888-455-SHOW (7469). Also at the box office, 1717 Technology Drive.
“Our success demonstrates the hunger people have,” says Flatley, “to wholly submerge themselves into a world where dancers interpret every nuance of classic good versus evil through modern Celtic music.” The 10th Anniversary Tour reflects Lord of the Dance’s ability to connect with the audience and initiate and captivate a new generation. Adding to the visceral and emotional impact are costumes, lighting and staging that are cinematic in scope. “Make no mistake,” adds Flatley, alluding to the 10th Anniversary Tour, “’Lord of the Dance’ begins where modern theatre ends.”
Flatley, who originated the role of the Lord, is the company’s Artistic Director, a position he has held since the troupe’s stunning 1996 debut in Dublin. Ten years later, his influence continues to resonate throughout every aspect of the production. Irish dance lovers and music fans alike will get a chance to experience the engaging, rhythmic adventure that has helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight. No wonder Lord of the Dance has jettisoned its ticket sales to more than $800 million worldwide. During its highly profitable four-year residency in Las Vegas, an estimated two million people danced along in their seats. A standing ovation was not the exception -- it was the rule.
