What a fantastic evening, it may not be the longest show but the energy and quality of the dancers was tremendous. It was 100 mph from the moment they started, with so many costume changes it was incredible. Some have criticized them not being genuine Irish dancers, I am not able to comment on how Irish they were, as I have no knowledge, but I do know what quality dancing and choreography is and this was at the top. The energy of the performers was breathtaking, it would have been better with a live band, but the backing track worked ok, and I felt the finale' was a bit weak and didn't allow the performers to get the full appreciation from the audience which they deserved. I have seen this show several times since 2003 and it just gets better. Look forward to their return to the NTR Portsmouth next year, as we will be there

Went to see this show last night at Lowther Gardens Lytham. Really entertaining from start to finish. The cast worked so hard and all of them so talented.We had a great seat as well. So good to go to these smaller theatres and see such great shows. The cast even came around to meet members of the public at the end. A great night.

Absolutely stunning performance. Vibrant, exciting and seamless production. Should be in the West End

I don’t have anything good to say about this production bar celebrating the dancers for their efforts and fitness because they clearly work hard.Saying that, I’m sick and tired of shows claiming to be Irish when it looked like 90% of the cast aren’t trained in Irish dancing. Most are stage school grads who are extremely talented in what they’ve trained in but so clearly aren’t Irish dancers. As an Irish dancer it is painful to watch but happens time and time again. You’re selling a lie to an audience who now believe this technique with wide gaps between the legs and arms so far behind the body is the style of Irish. I couldn’t even enjoy watching the choreography as a whole because I was so focused on watching the “irish” dancers technique. It truly is a shame these opportunities aren’t provided to those who do Irish dance, if your excuse is it’s a show of more styles, don’t include Irish if you’re going to do it so badly. The Scottish dance was great and energetic but worked because the dancers can get away with the wide legs and different technique. The dancers doing “123’s” looked like they were doing pas de bourrees. One of the Irish dancers was just jam packed with canons which takes away the impact that a canon usually has. A lot of the dances had encores/playoffs which were the same choreography and almost as long as the original routine, I’m unsure why. I’d also love to know why or how a routine in combats/street wear turned into an Arabian theme. Just so many odd stylistic choices. I understand quick changes are tough but dancers clomping on stage in heavy shoes for a vocal number isn’t great. Don’t even get me started on the prerecorded singing/miming and prerecorded taps. The taps were so much louder than the music and didn’t represent the steps the dancers were doing. A girl singing then jumping into a heavy dance? Confusing. Couldn’t tell you what the story line was. Where were the Irish dancers light shoes??The costumes were cheap, (the sewn on ‘S’ awful) looked like they were straight out of a child’s dance catalogue but that’s nothing new, the whole production felt like I was watching a child’s local dance show. The backdrop was poor and didn’t change, lighting often didn’t work with what was happening on stage or the costumes. Black tights should be the same denier!I almost forgot to mention the shouting, absolutely nothing wrong with verbals I’m dance routines and I appreciate that they were at least in time but it was CONSTANT, almost in every single routine and it didn’t help add any atmosphere because it was so frequent, it didn’t make it special. Hearing and Essex accent squeal “here we go” didn’t add to the Irish experience for me.I can’t believe the price of the tickets compared to production value, you must be making a fortune. I paid more than I have for both Riverdance and Lord of The Dance. I was embarrassed taking someone with me and apologised throughout for bringing them to this show and introducing them to Irish dancing this way. Even my guest who does not know Irish dancing recognised the poor quality of the whole production.All I can say is well done to the dancers for their energy, they hardly get a break! Some lovely performances faces too. Please just hire Irish dancers for Irish numbers! The female lead, when she had the opportunity for solos, skipping across the stage, she clearly was capable of some beautiful steps but the choreography didn’t do that for her, it just needs updating so badly.

Incredibly disappointing and not worth the £25, pre-recorded music, singers miming, dancers are amateurs who most definitely aren't trained in Irish dancing. There were dancers making mistakes left right and centre.A real shame but felt like watching a local dance show rather than a 'world renowned' professional dance troupe.
