Declan O'Donoghue

Celtic Thunder kicked off their US Tour last night with a concert at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ and Broadwayworld.com was there from rehearsal to the post-show meet-and-greet.

With sales surpassing one million combined units, the wildly entertaining Celtic Thunder pay homage to the musical culture of Ireland with their new CD and DVD concert special, Heritage. In the New York area the concert special, Heritage, is being aired on WLIW TV 21 (WLIW.ORG) who had pledges for tickets and a Meet and Greet with members of Celtic Thunder as one of the premiums. The troup performed at the Beacon Theatre on September 24, and BroadwayWorld was there!

On Friday October 1, 2010, WLIW in conjunction with Radio City Music Hall and Celtic Thunder.ie hosted a Meet and Greet before the concert began.
