Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games [DVD]

Product Information

My husband and i had already seen Riverdance two years ago in Dublin and thouhgt that was amazing so we were hoping this show would be as good and i can say we were not disappointed, it was just as good. The smash-hit dance show will star West End rising star Sophie Evans and The Voice contestant Rachel O’Connor. Me and my husband went together totally for me but he admitted that he really enjoyed it too and that meant swallowing his pride!

O’Connor burst onto UK screens in series three of The Voice and led the original production of Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games when it opened at the Dominion Theatre in 2014. The show did not use the original stage set design but upgraded it to a modern design consisting of seven erect rectangular screens with a set of stairs also acting as screens.There's brand new music courtesy of the composer Gerard Fahy, fresh staging, new costumes and fantastic new choreography, too. Cora Smyth toured with Flatley in Celtic Tiger until he cancelled the tour due to a viral infection.

A terrifying performance of "Warriors" with suspenseful music follows, with dark lord Don Dorcha doing an introductory dance before being followed by his troupe. The Lord of the Dance defeats the dark lord's invasion with help from a little spirit, a pixie or faerie of sorts. The Little Spirit has a dream in which the Lord of the Dance, who represents all things good in the world, must fight against evil in the form of the Dark Lord and his army of Dark Disciples.

While closely resembling the original show, Feet of Flames merged two troupes of the original show, totaling almost 100, and also adds an all-male choir and a live band. I have had a place in London since 1996…it is now an honour to bring new young people, young stars to the stage. The Shout (1978) Bored while officiating a cricket match at a psychiatric hospital, Crossley tells Graves (a visitor) the tale of a mysterious stranger (also named Crossley) who invades the lives and home of a local musician and his wife. Kenneth Branagh both directs and stars as King Lear, Shakespeare’s foolishly narcissistic father who allows flattery (and then the lack of it), to cloud his judgement of familial love when deciding how to divide his kingdom between three daughters of differing worthiness.

As a filmed performance, on the other hand, LOTD: DG is much less exciting than its sources of 1997 and 1998. The Dominion rightly boasts a major refit where the large backdrop electronic screen was impressive, but I still can not decide whether it aided or distracted from the show.The story line, costumes and music which were trying to build a futuristic war plot seemed like they might be from 1990s and not made for a contemporary audience. full citation needed] Later on, Flatley soon began thinking of rhythm patterns and steps for an a cappella number. With new music by composer Gerard Fahy, this ‘extraordinary and supremely stirring show’ (Daily Telegraph) combines the best of tradition with all the excitement of new music and dance. New lighting was introduced and aircraft landing lights were used as stage lights to add to the effect. It used to be my dream was to dance in Madison Square Garden in New York, a football stadium, Wembley Arena, and I am delighted I managed to do most of them.

Whilst his dances shall live on for decades, if not centuries to come, the time has arrived for Flatley to hang up his dancing shoes.All in all the choreographer/ director / dancers should stick to what they know best (traditional elements) and forget any awkward innovations.

The only issue I had were 5 ladies who arrived late, sat in front of us and talked throughout much of the show !
