It is the most successful touring show in the history of the entertainment industry and enjoys an excellent international reputation: since its premiere, "Lord of the Dance" has visited more than 1,000 venues around the world and thrilled more than 60 million people in 60 countries on all continents.
The breathtaking, thrilling, magical show became one of the most successful dance productions in the world within a very short time.

The adventurous journey to "Lord of the Dance" began with Michael Flatley's dream of putting on the world's biggest Irish dance show. With great determination, courage, unconditional belief in himself, ambition, diligence and, of course, an incredible talent, the exceptional American dancer with Irish roots created something that took the world's breath away: With his spectacular interval performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, he caused standing ovations with an overwhelming performance, even overshadowing the actual event. The rest is history and impressive proof of Flatley's belief that "nothing is impossible. Follow your dreams."
