Celtic Illusion set for explosive show at Darlington Hippodrome

The production arrives in town for one night only on Saturday, March 7 with a 7.30 pm curtain up.

Billed as a high-octane blend of precision Irish step dancing, “jaw-dropping magic”, and a sweeping, cinematic score, Celtic Illusion has built a strong following on tours across Australia and New Zealand.

The show is the creation of Australian dancer and choreographer Anthony Street, a former principal dancer in Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance.

His vision brings together a cast of champion dancers and world-class musicians in a production that aims to appeal as much to fans of blockbuster magic shows as to lovers of traditional Celtic culture.

Producers say audiences can expect refreshed choreography, new illusions, and a contemporary soundtrack for the UK run, designed to give the familiar language of Irish dance a bold, modern twist.

Tickets are on sale now from the theatre’s box office at 01325 405405 and on its website.
