Billed as an updating and retelling of Irish folk legend, Lord of the Dance is less Erin Go Bragh than Hooray for Hollywood. Michael Flatley, late of Riverdance, gives us the old razzle-dazzle, fashioning a Celtic-influenced spectacular that wanders far away from its Riverdance roots. The light-show presentation is closer kin to another contemporary Irish musical group, U2. Flatley himself has gone designer chic. With close-cropped haircut, earring, buffed abs, and tight black pants he bears more than a passing resemblance to Bono. But you have to hand it to the guy--he works hard for the money, as does his attractive corps. The one maddening aspect of this glitzy, entertaining 90-minute festival is the overzealous editing. No image remains on screen for more than a few seconds. Neither Flatley nor his talented troupe deserves to have such craftsmanship sliced and diced like an MTV music video. --Richard Natale |

 Best show, May 10, 2023
I think this is the best irish dance show, best perfomance, best music. This video blow u away! Must see.
Only bad video record a little unbalancing - light projector is too bright and picture in this moment became invisibility.

 An insult to Irish dance and tradition, Dec 30, 2022
This... was... terrible. The camera angles were awful, you never really get to see the dancing, and I am sorry, but I think that there are better Irish dancers than Michael Flatley. His ego overwhelms his dancing talent. This movie isn't about Irish dancing, it's about a fantasy in Flatley's mind. I'll stick with Riverdance, thanks.

Awesome Dance and Musical Entertainment, Dec 24, 2022
This is the first of Michael Flatley's own productions. The show was a great success that grew into "Feet of Flames." I would recommend buying "Feet of Flames" or the "collector series." If you get the collectors series. be sure to watch "Lord of the Dance," then "Feet of Flames," and then "Gold."

 Quality only overwhelmed by ego, Oct 11, 2023
This guy is a real star, and this video proves it, however, there is a big ego floating around everything, sometimes surpassing the quality of the coreographies.
