Lord of the Dance: Cry of the Celts -- Then and Now (includes RARE footage of Michael Flatley)
Published at : September 25, 2021
You've bought a ticket to Lord of the Dance's *new* show, 25 YEARS OF STANDING OVATIONS. And you're wondering: will it be as good as what you remember? Will it be as good as what you saw on TV?
The answer is yes. And here's the proof.
In the quarter-century Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance has existed, it's been commercially filmed six times: 1996, 1998, 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2020. Different eras. Different costumes. Different music. Different stage sets. Different performers. But, fortuitously, two of those films -- Feet of Flames 2009 and 2020 -- take place in *exactly* the same venue on *exactly* the same set.
Unless you're a hardcore superfan, you probably haven't seen the 2009 Feet of Flames video. Unlike the videos from 1996, 1998, and 2011, there's almost no footage of the 2009 video online. So to you, this is exciting new footage of Michael Flatley dancing that you've never seen before. Meanwhile, if you've been following this channel for the last year or so, you've seen the jaw-dropping footage of Matt Smith and the New Generation from FOF 2020 -- footage so explosive that even the most die-hard classic fans with their nostalgia-tinted glasses have admitted to getting excited about the future.
Now we put them together. We salute the past *and* show you that the future is just as bright. The old magic is brought back to life and fused with something new.
Tickets are on sale NOW to Lord of the Dance's 25th anniversary show, 25 YEARS OF STANDING OVATIONS. The UK tour begins March 2022. Be there when Planet Ireland arises.
