Irish music and dance show from Off-Broadway and London's West End, with former World Irish dance champions, on its UK tour.
A Taste of Ireland comes to The Albany Theatre on Thursday 11 February, part of a UK tour that runs from 2 to 28 February with 20 performances across 19 venues. It's the flagship production of the A Taste of Ireland Company, produced by Brent Pace of Pace Live with Ceili Pace as executive producer, and it arrives here from Off-Broadway and London's West End. They bill it as a Celtic show for this generation.
The cast is drawn from former World Irish dance champions, including dancers who've worked on Lord of the Dance, Riverdance and the recent West End cast of Éireann. The show mixes melodic folk mash-ups, live acapella tap battles and storytelling, with reimagined versions of classics like Danny Boy, Tell Me Ma and Wild Rover.
Ceili Pace brings a fair bit of her own history to the production: she spent over a decade as an Irish dance champion, winning Australian National, North American National, All Ireland and World titles, and danced the lead role of Morrighan alongside Michael Flatley. The company says the show has gathered a following of over 400,000 and has been leaving audiences jigging on their feet for the last ten years.
