A Taste of Ireland - The Irish Music & Dance Sensation includes a starry roster of international dance champions who present a thrilling performance that traces Ireland’s tumultuous history, packed with sensational renditions of traditional Irish dance brought into the modern age, with a vivid musical score, dazzling scenery, and spectacular lighting effects. The show’s contemporary score features reimagined classics such as “Danny Boy” and “Wild Rover” performed by mesmerizing musicians and a modern soloist, alongside the brash Irish charm of wildly athletic dancers, creating an exhilarating performance served up with more than a pint of Irish wit.
A Taste of Ireland - The Irish Music & Dance Sensation offers audiences an outstanding look at current, active World Champions at the height of their athletic careers; dancers straight out of competition circuits and major international productions, focused on both preserving tradition and pushing it to new limits. The cast includes headliners Callum O'Neill (World Champion, Ceili Dance World Champion, performer with A Taste of Ireland for West End and Off-Broadway, formerly of Riverdance), Barry Teague (six-time World Champion, formerly of Lord of the Dance), and Emily Grace (formerly of Lord of the Dance), among other world-class Irish dancers and performers. (NOTE: casting is subject to change.)
A Taste of Ireland - The Irish Music & Dance Sensation is presented by Pace Live as part of its world tour all over the globe, including smash hit runs in the West End and Off-Broadway, as well as tours to Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Canada. The production debuted in the U.S. in 2024 with a wildly successful Off-Broadway engagement.
Directed and produced by Brent Pace (This is Not a Happy Room – Off-West End, A Taste of Ireland - Off-Broadway, West End), co-directed and produced by Ceili Moore (World Champion, Riverdance and Lord of the Dance artist), and with musical direction by Charlie Galloway (Talisk), A Taste of Ireland - The Irish Music & Dance Sensation unites a powerhouse creative team driving this bold reimagining of Irish theatrical performance.
