After a remarkable 20-year run as the creator and star of the Lord of the Dance franchise, Michael Flatley is capping off an incredible stage career that contains broken records around the world, millions of video sales, and a place in the Palladium Hall of Fame with his final performance in the US at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on St. Patrick’s Day.
Flatley is passing on the title (and all the fancy paperwork that comes with being a Lord) to his protégés James Keegan, Morgan Comer, Fergal Kearney, and Mathew Smith. The New York Times was particularly impressed by Keegan’s performance: “His terrific footwork, tripling the beat and slipping in extra sounds on the fly, is undeniably exciting… And the mass effect of martial lines of men hammering the floor in unison gives a thrill.”
For nearly two decades and across 68 countries, Lord of the Dance has pitted the Lord of Darkness against the titular lord and his traditional Irish dancers, who shake the stage with kicks, taps, and twirls—all while keeping their upper torsos patently still. The new show pairs its familiar fiddles, pipes, and Celtic drums with ground-breaking new staging, costumes, choreography, technology, and stunts, including holographs, a giant 50-ft Radiant flat screen spanning the width of the stage, special-effects lighting, dancing robots, world-champion acrobats, and, of course, the greatest team of Irish dancers in the world.
With 40 outstanding young performers directed by Michael Flatley, and new music by composer Gerard Fahy, Dangerous Games has already performed to sold-out audiences at Playhouse Theatre in London and the Lyric Theatre on Broadway.
