Lord Of The Dance UK Tour Reviews
"It was a hugely entertaining evening that brought back many happy memories of seeing the show for the first time. It certainly lives up to its subtitle, Lord of the Dance: 30 Years of Standing Ovations, and judging by the audience reaction, there were at least three standing ovations in the second half alone." Yorkshire Magazine, Bradford
"So whilst I may find a few structural gripes, they do little to dim an overwhelmingly joyous night of dance theatre. Lord of the Dance delivers an incredible, nostalgic rush. It remains loud, proud, and alive with spectacular execution, proving exactly why it has packed out theatres for thirty years." The Quintissential Review, Edinburgh
"This show over-delivers in every department it's a sheer, uncomplicated joy buoyed up by perfectionist attention to fine detail and astonishing technical virtuosity. You're in for a night-and-a-half." Northern Arts Review, Manchester
"Every aspect of the production is polished and professional. The costumes are stunning, Selwood's athletic high kicks are breathtaking, and the precision of the ensemble dancing is remarkable." Wakefield Express, Bradford
"After two exhilarating hours, the hunky guys and gorgeous girls have beaten the clad-in-black, wonderfully camp Warlords and all is well in the world again. Staggeringly, nobody on the stage appears out of breath but I certainly am. I somehow managed to resist the allure of the merch stall, but I gladly gave them their standing ovation." Ox In A Box, Oxford
