Title: Remake of Lord of the Dance
Review: There's one critical piece of information missing on this video's description -- this is a remake (a very bad one at that) of Lord of the Dance. I thought Flatley had produced a brand new show; little did I know. Having watched Lord of the Dance just a few months ago, the basic story line and choreography was still fresh in my mind. As soon as the first dancers came out on the stage I knew it looked familiar. Yes, the costumes are new (I didn't say better), the set is bigger (I didn't say better again), the music has been reworked, and the crowds are larger, but it is still basically Lord of the Dance. What happened? He had a good thing going and had to ruin it. I agree with others that this reminds me of a Las Vegas review, not a program highlighting traditional Irish dancing. Flatley's a good dancer, but has an ego that exceeds his talent. My recommendaton: Don't waste your money. See River Dance, see Lord of the Dance, and stop there.
Is the review positive or negative?
