OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The loud tapping sound that filed the
Teatro at Monte Casino last night was like non other. The sound of unison
dancing was chilling with the dancers being remarkably on time with each other
so much so that if there was one mistake it would have been heard. Lord of the
Dance never seizes to amaze me.
I watched the show when I was young on VHS, I would prounce
around pretending to be one of the river dancers. In my mind I could be a part
of this show. 2 years ago I saw the show for the first time, where I was
fortunate enough to have not only see the show for the first time, but also to
see Flatley’s last show ever. This was a very emotional experience for me, in
the best way, as I was seeing an idol of mine live for the first and the last
time. Fast forward 2 years, I had the opportunity to see the show again thanks
to Big Concerts, and it was just as amazing, maybe even more so.( minus seeing
Flatley of course).
The energy and timing was amazing. I could not keep up with
the sped of their legs and feet. They moved so quickly. (Needless to say, my
childhood dream will never be a reality as I will never be able to keep up) The dancers just
never stopped and it was mesmerising.
The dancer’s costumes could have out a show on their own. The
beautifully crafted costumes made the dancing that more amazing. There were
many costume changes, and not just a few accessorises here and there, but a
proper, full on costume change. The hair of the ladies would also sometimes
change. It was astonishing!!!
This is a MUST see and the ticket prices are reasonable for
such a world renown show.
