3 January 2012
Michael Flatley’s creation Lord of the Dance is not only still selling tickets but has been the highest grossing dance show in the world since it began in 1996 (just one of the many facts provided in the programme).
The plot is your basic good versus evil, other wise known as black leather with silver studs versus pastel shades and sequins. The good guy is the lord of the title who has to try and stop the dark lord Dorcha from taking his glittery belt (and the kingdom). Dorcha has a group of helmeted fellow baddies who try their very best to be menacing whilst Irish dancing.
Other characters include two romantic interests; one an evil seductress in a black and red catsuit; the other the true love in a short white lycra dress. The storyline is really just a vehicle for the dancing, cool pyrotechnics and numerous costume changes.
The women of the troupe get a bit of raw deal as they either have to dance the slow...
