Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance Tickets

This show was great! Although I would've loved to have seen Michael Flatley dancing!!

I came to enjoy Celtic dancing. The production was at least 40% sexually suggestive, which was unnecessary to the story and something I did not expect. At one point, the dancers tore off their dresses to finish the dance in their underwear. I am not sure what the purpose or meaning of it was, but it tainted the rest of the performance.

I have always wanted to see Lord of the Dance, and was excited to take my two teenage daughters. They have danced since they were little, but were unfamiliar with Irish dance. AS they said, they thought it was just going to be girls with curly hair all night. Boy were they surprised. My one daughter said 'I had no idea it would be this intense'. Needless to say they loved it- except for the singer that came out and sang a few songs which they felt was boring and stalled the momentum of the show. I normally like Irish songs as well, but was not too impressed by this particular performer. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the show!

My wife and I went to see Lord of the Dance for her birthday. It was excellent. Great combination of dance, music, and singing. We loved the story-line, the sharpness of the dancers, and their desire to entertain. We would definitely go again!!

i am glad i went after years of wanting to go however i certainly dont have to go again.

The show was amazing!! The seats we had were excellent!

As soonas comes again i would recommend a must see to everyone i know.

The whole show was amazing start to finish. I loved the energy and interactive actions of the cast with the audience.

Although I expected a good show without Michsel Flately, this troupe was totaly amazing!

The Lord of the Dance performance was inspirational to young dancers. The performers truly played to the audience. Beautiful costuming and lighting enhanced the amazing talent of each of the dancers.

Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance was absolutely amazing from start to finish!!

This is the fourth time we have seen LOTD....all three other times were in Las Vegas and 10 years ago. (We even own the DVD with Michael Flatley!)...this productions was a disappointment as the cast was no where near as good...many looked malnurished and only skin and bones and the lead dancer was not convincing as the macho lead. The overall dancing was very good but the current production seems to be more into burlesque and how little clothes they can get away with wearing. (Women that is, the guys were always fully clothed...my wife wanted to know why...seemed kinda sexist to her).....the costuming was not as good as the early Vegas productions. I question whether the violinist were actually playing or just going through the motions. The single singer was WAY to operatic (I am a huge fan of opera, just not in a LOTD production. ) The bad guy outfits were more befitting a ninja turtle show and really detracted from the dancing.....which I guess sums it up.....a LOTD production should be about the dancing and this group performed well (however during the THREE encores there were clearly several cast members (performers) not happy to still be on stage and appeared to genuinely be in pain....Hmmmm. The show I am affraid has gone the way of so much entertainment these days....toward the sleeze factor rather than staying classy.....I will cherish the performances of 10 years ago and choose to remember those over this performance. A final note, performances in the past seemed to flow seemlessly an told a coherent story....the story really did not start until the second act, which seemed strange compared again to 10 years ago. In fairness to the cast and crew the venue for this type of production was awful...the venue I swear is 100 years old and sound for ANY performance is the pits....how much nicer it would have been to see/hear the show at the new Kaufman Center. Kansas City continues to book shows at the Music Hall which is a shame, they should tear the thing down or do extensive remodeling as it is not fair to the performers to have their work not come across the best way possible and clearly a rip-off to customers who have to continuely put up with lousy sound in an ancient facility.

I think this was cast B - or lower - the soloist wasn't always on pitch or timing, and the dancers (especially the lead male) weren't as sharp as I would have expected. I suspect Michael Flatley would have done better even with his blown-out knees. The female leads were a bit better, but still hesitant. The ensembles were the best - they were in unison at least. Costumes were great, but after the female ensemble dancers broke away their Celtic dresses and were left with what amounted to bikinis, I wondered why - none of the men took their shirts off - it felt a bit gratuitous and rather unneccessary to the overall production. The fiddlers were the most consistant, but not electrifying performances ... from anyone. It felt like they were all just going through the motions, but perhaps this was the end of their tour and they were tired and ready to go home.

I have seen Riverdance and Lord of the Dance before, so this was not my first time. I was very disappointed in the dance ability of the lead female role. Kicks were low and bent kneed much of the time. Knees were apart when they should be together. One of the other female dancers, when wearing the silver straight dress with sequins, red, on the bottom, kept pulling her dress down. It was mildly tight on her hips and being short, kept riding up slightly so she pulled it down during the entire dance piece. Being in the front row, it was obvious and very unprofessional. Other things like this were noted that really took away from the professional showmanship that I have come to expect from this group whether in person or seen on TV. So, it was a bit disappointing and I can see why it was not sold out.

It started off exciting and then in slowed down quickly. I thought the singer was average. The skit that underlined their performance was juvenile. Even the scene where the dancers stripped to their underwear seemed to be a cheap attempt to add excitement to the show. Most of the chatter around me was curiosity as to its purpose. The dancing was good as expected but I walked away not satisfied.

My daughter and I enjoyed this production and were amazed by the agility and flexibility of the dancers. Only problem was the older lady next to me (I'm also a "senior") turned on her phone several times to take pictures....very distracting.

Overall it was very good. There were some parts that were different, which you expect over time, for example, the "good vs. evil" parts. That took a little bit away from the traditional "Lord of the Dance" theme. The music did not change and that would have been very disappointing if that happened. A lot of the dances by the women were soft shoe,, not tap and that was a little disappointing. The most bizarre and most disapointing part was when the women ripped off their costumes and danced in their underwear. What was the reaoning for that? It was obvious that there was more of a sexual theme than the original. Besides ripping off the womens costumes, there were skin tight dance leotards.

The theme seemed to be a war between an Iowa soda jerk (Lord? of the Dance) and a herd of Mutant Ninja Turtles. (Who came up with these costumes?) This struggle was fluffed out by seemingly unrelated dance numbers and songs. In the first act we were treated to a female ensemble presentation that could have been done as a 9th grade dance recital. The female vocalist was reedy and the songs apropos of nothing else that was going home. A MAJOR disappointment.

Was a great show, great music, great dancing, singing was awesome, stage settings were great with wonderful color! Our seats were great. All around a very, very enjoyable evening!

I saw this when Flatley was the main performer and had to see this again. I was not disappointed. The story, the theatrics, the instruments, it was all great with one exception. At the end of the first act, the girls were dancing a number, and all of a sudden, ripped off their dresses to reveal black bikini type outfits. I did not see how this fit with the story, and with little kids there, I'm not sure that was a great message. I couldn't remember if that was done the first time I saw them, so during intermission, I emailed the person that went with me before. Regardless of that one part, everything else was great, exactly what I had remembered.
