Manchester’s three times world champion Irish dancer – James Keegan will be performing the lead on Friday 6 January. The multi-talented dancer who has been dancing with the troupe since he was 16 is really looking forward to headlining the show in his hometown. James is one of the founding members of the award winning ‘Young, Gifted & Green’ Irish dance troupe and has helped launch the city’s annual Irish Festival which is Europe’s biggest Irish celebration on several occasions. He has recently launched the ‘Keegan Irish Dancing Academy’ with his sister Louise which hopes to train the Irish dancing stars of the future.
Michael Flatley, creator and director of the most successful touring show in entertainment history has taken Lord Of The Dance to over 65 different countries and territories and to over 7 million people on every single continent.
Since its world premiere, Lord Of The Dance has become the most talked about, the most written about and the most acclaimed show in musical history. It has gone on to receive unparalleled accolades and has broken theatrical records everywhere.
With more than 150 000 taps per performance, the Irish dance spectacular promises to wow British audiences yet again with its breath taking footwork and dazzling music.
Based on Irish folklore, this classic tale of Good vs. Evil, expressed through the universal language of dance, it has thrilled audiences worldwide and catapulted Irish dance to a new dimension and unprecedented worldwide acclaim.
