Michael Flatley's LORD OF THE DANCE to Perform One Night Only at Fabulous Fox Theatre, 4/5

By:

Bill Clinton was President when Chicago native Michael Flatley created and launched Lord of Dance(www.lordofthedance.com). Fifteen years later, the world's highest grossing Irish Dance show is still selling out arenas and theatres around the world. Generations of audiences - more than 60 million people from 68 countries - have seen Lord of the Dance. Presented by Magic Arts & Entertainment and Global Entertainment Group, the Lord of the Dance tour will perform at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on April 5th at 8 p.m. Tickets are $55, $45 and $35 and are available at the Fox Theatre box office and all MetroTix locations. To charge by phone call MetroTix at 314/534-1111 or online at www.metrotix.com.

Lord of the Dance is a classic tale of good versus evil, based on Irish folklore that brings a passionate love story to life. Flatley, along with Dance Director Marie Duffy-Pask, hand picked the cast of over 40 dancers; each has achieved individual recognition as a national or worldwide dance champion. Described by the New York Post as "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as "a showpiece extravaganza," Lord of the Dance is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance. The story is based upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of dancers' bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm. The action is played out over 21 scenes on a grand scale of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting.
