Lord of the Dance

Buy This Item Lord of the Dance by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 8-29-2008     Billed as an updating and retelling of Irish folk legend, <I>Lord of the Dance</I> is less Erin Go Bragh than Hooray for Hollywood. Michael Flatley, late of <I>Riverdance</I>, gives us the old razzle-dazzle, fashioning a Celtic-influenced spectacular that wanders far away from its <I>Riverdance</I> 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. <I>--Richard Natale</I> Reader Reviews You can't beat his talent...when the whole Riverdance fever took the world over a decade ago I tired of his stardom. However watching him in Lord if the Dance reminded me of his superb talent. It truly is an amazing show to watch and well worth every penny
