Dance and magic in Celtic Illusion

-

An electrifyi­ng fusion of modern Irish dance with mind-blowing magic and illusions will be had when “Celtic Illusion” hits the West Gippsland Arts Centre on Sunday at 7pm.

This spectacula­r stage show is perfect for families and returns to Australia with incredible new chorograph­y, spellbindi­ng magic and heart-racing music to offer a sensory experience like no other.

Showcasing a stellar cast of champion and internatio­nally-acclaimed dancers, including performers from both “Riverdance” and “Lord of the Dance”, Celtic Illusion offers some of the fastest taps in the world as the dancers’ thunderous rhythm fills the stage in perfect unison.

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

Celtic Illusion also offers an incredible soundtrack composed by a stellar team, including Angela Little who co-composed Baz Luhrman’s film “Australia”, as well as Steve Skinner who has arranged and produced for artists such as Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder and Broadway musical “Rent”.

Since its premiere in 2011, the show has performed to sell-out audiences across Australia, with audiences blown away by the combinatio­n of scintillat­ing dance and illusion.

Tickets are $69.90 for adults, $64.90 for concession and groups, and $59.90 for children under 16.

For bookings or further informatio­n, contact the West Gippsland Arts Centre box-office on 5624 2456 or visit wgac.org.au.
