Stepping out in style for Lord of the Dance at the Marquee
THIS summer marks an Irish homecoming for the dance-show phenomenon, Lord Of The Dance. Dancing legend and honorary Corkman, Michael Flatley, who starred in the Irish-dancing extravaganza until recently, will see his creation take to the stage for the first time in his adopted home, as part of Live at the Marquee.
It’s 20 years since the original version of the show — choreographed and produced by Flatley — premiered in Dublin. Since then, it has been all over the world and has taken in millions at the box office. Flatley’s last performance in the show was in Las Vegas, on St Patrick’s Day, but the Lord of the Dance juggernaut keeps on moving around the globe. While the dancers have enough medals and trophies to fill Flatley’s Fermoy mansion, their roles in the show are the ultimate prize.
