Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games UK Tour 2017 is created, produced, choreographed and directed by Michael Flatley – and the show is set to wow audiences and dance fans alike when it comes to The Bristol Hippodrome.

The original Lord of the Dance show premiered at the magnificent Coliseum in London two decades ago, and in 2014 Michael Flatley transformed the show making it even more thrilling than the original.

Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games with music composed by Gerard Fahy premiered at the iconic London Palladium in September 2014 to mark the milestone 20th anniversary since Michael Flatley became an international sensation.

Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games continues to thrill audiences around the globe with its intoxicating mix of dance and music that fuses the traditional with the contemporary in a classic tale that showcases the exceptional talent of the cast.

The spectacle will feature 40 of the world’s most outstanding young performers directed by Michael Flatley, with new music by composer Gerard Fahy. This latest iteration combines the best of tradition with all the excitement of new music and dance.

And now, celebrating 20 years since the debut of the show, fans of the Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games extravaganza will be able to see Michael Flatley’s protégés James Keegan, Fergal Keaney and Matt Smith in the role of the ‘Lord’.
