About:
What do you get when you combine an awe-inspiring musical score from Golden Globe-nominated composer Brian Byrne (Heartbeat of Home), Celtic Throne II—Psalter of Ireland, innovative Irish dance choreography fused with martial arts and gymnastics, and state-of-the-art cinematic production? An unforgettable theatrical spectacle unlike any other!
The story of Celtic Throne, which explores the ancient origins of Ireland, is brought to life by a cast of 40+ performers, including live musicians, enhanced by stunning costumes, an elaborate set, incredible lighting and special effects, and dramatic video storytelling on a gigantic LED screen. “Imagine taking a classic Irish dance show, like Riverdance,” explained director Brad Macdonald, “and fusing it with a Broadway musical and a Hollywood movie. This is just one of many reasons Celtic Throne is truly an incomparable experience.”
This is the second production created by Celtic Throne, a group of US-based Irish dancers taught and mentored by John Carey, an eight-times World Champion Irish dancer, the former male lead of Lord of the Dance, and the Irish dance choreographer of Heartbeat of Home. “Audiences love our youth,” said Macdonald. “We have some world-class dancers, literally in the top 10 in their age-bracket, but our younger dancers always steal the show—they melt hearts in every city we visit.”
“Celtic Throne is the ultimate family show,” says Macdonald. Most of the cast and crew is literally formed of brothers and sisters, cousins, mums and dads. “This is another element that makes us so unique. Celtic Throne was made by families for families and it celebrates family—the family chemistry is palpable and audiences are genuinely moved by it.”
