Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston Presents A LITTLE BIT OF IRELAND

The Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston is once again serving up its warm Irish brew, "A Little Bit of Ireland," a sumptuous feast of Irish music, folk dancing, and light-hearted comic blarney designed to banish the winter blues and say "welcome" to an emerald Irish spring. Now in its "lucky 13th" year, this annual musical celebration of St. Patrick's Day, conceived and directed by Reagle's producing artistic director Bob Eagle, features some of the best and most renowned Irish performers assembled on stage anywhere anytime.

World Champion Irish Step Dancer Liam Harney, who performed the role made famous by the legendary Michael Flatley in the London production of "Riverdance," returns with his electrifying troupe from the Harney Academy of Irish Step-Dancing in Walpole. Harpist extraordinaire Judy Ross of Burlington leads an ensemble of 19 - count 'em, 19 - heavenly pedal harp players ranging in age from seven to 70.

Galway-born fiddler Larry Reynolds, founder of the Boston Chapter of the Irish Musicians Association, and his Boston-bred protégé Brendan Bulger, perform toe-tapping traditional Irish folk music with the lively Celtic ensemble Comhaltas. Featured soloists Rusty Russell and Broadway's Sarah Pfisterer ("Phantom of the Opera," "Show Boat") delight with favorites like "Danny Boy," "Harrigan," "If You're Irish, Come into the Parlor," and "The Irish Blessing."

Local comedian and Reagle favorite Harold "Jerry" Walker of Waltham gets Irish eyes smiling with a barrage of riotous jokes and irreverent stories told with an impish grin and the charm of a leprechaun. Reagle's own Irish Tenors croon familiar lullabies and romantic ballads in lilting four-part harmony. A host of spirited Irish classics are sung by Reagle's renowned 30-member adult choir, including solos by Katie Ford, Christopher King, Erik Sachs, Al Feetham, Cara Green, Jane Corrigan, Gary Vincent, Jean Alfred Chavier, and John Marshall.

If John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in "The Quiet Man" is your idea of classic St. Patrick's Day viewing, then the Reagle Music Theatre's annual wearing o' the green is definitely your cup of Irish tea. Called "a truly great day for the Irish" by New England Entertainment Digest and "a little bit of heaven" by the MetroWest Daily News, "A Little Bit of Ireland" is also a bountiful pot of musicAl Gold.

Performances of "A Little Bit of Ireland" are set for March 11 through 13 in the Robinson Theatre, 617 Lexington Street, Waltham. Tickets and information are available by calling the Box Office at 781-891-5600 or visiting online at www.reaglemusictheatre.org.
