Direct from Off-Broadway and London’s West End, the internationally acclaimed A Taste of Ireland Company brings its flagship production, A Taste of Ireland: The Irish Music & Dance Sensation, to Queensland this August.
The performances form part of the company’s regional Queensland tour, travelling from Cairns to Toowoomba via major centres along the Bruce Highway and beyond.
Performed by former World Irish Dance Champions, the production features stars from London’s West End, including alumni of Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and the company’s own hit production Éireann, alongside rising talent fresh from top placings at this year’s World Irish Dance Championships.
Off stage, the company has become an online sensation, with cast videos attracting millions of views and a social media following of more than 400,000.
You don’t have to be Irish to fall in love with the show. For those who have visited Ireland, it brings the country rushing back. For those with Irish heritage, it rekindles treasured songs, stories and traditions. And for everyone else, it is simply an unforgettable night of world-class entertainment.
Emotional, immersive and unapologetically Irish, the production is a love letter to Ireland’s music, dance and storytelling, featuring favourites including Danny Boy, Tell Me Ma and The Wild Rover.
Audiences are swept up in spectacular choreography, live music, breathtaking footwork and infectious humour that has them laughing, crying and clapping along from the opening number to the final curtain.
Presented with live singing, live music and world-class dance, A Taste of Ireland blends traditional Irish culture with contemporary staging and storytelling to create an exhilarating theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.
Currently touring Australia for a strictly limited season across 37 locations in six states, including two Caloundra performances for Sunshine Coast audiences to experience the international hit close to home.
Find a seat, bring someone you love, and lose yourself in two unforgettable hours of Irish music, dance and storytelling.
A Taste of Ireland: The Irish Music & Dance Sensation will be presented at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre from 5 August before touring to selected venues across Queensland. For more information, including performance dates and venues, visit: www.atasteofirelandshow.com for details.
