WITH a cast of champion dancers, including performers from both “Riverdance” and “Lord of the Dance”, “Celtic Illusion” will burst onto the stage of the Canberra Theatre this Saturday with a showstopper of a show.

Offering “ some of the fastest taps in the world” the noise could be deafening  as the dancers’ “thunderous rhythm fills the stage in perfect unison”.

This touring  show is led by Australia’s Anthony Street, the first Australian to perform leading roles in Michael Flatley’s “Lord of the Dance”, including the very role that Flatley originally performed himself.

Cleverly fusing electrifying modern Irish dance with ‘magical’ elements, “Celtic Illusion” also offers a soundtrack composed by a team that includes Angela Little, who co-composed for Baz Luhrman’s “Australia,” as well as Steve Skinner, who has arranged and produced for artists such as Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder and the Broadway musical “Rent”.

Celtic Illusion, at the Canberra Theatre, September 3, bookings to canberratheatrecentre.com.au or 6275 2700.
