A Taste of Ireland — The Irish Music & Dance Sensation Will Make Its New York Premiere

A Taste of Ireland — The Irish Music & Dance Sensation will have a pre-St. Patrick’s Day New York City premiere as part of its 2024 world tour. The show will run March 8-15 at the Sheen Center’s Loreto Theater.

The show’s reimagined contemporary score features revamped classics of “Danny Boy,” “Tell Me Ma,” “Wild Rover,” and more. A Taste of Ireland – The Irish Music & Dance Sensation blends storytelling, modern Irish dance, tap, and contemporary dance to tell a historic story.

The international cast features Gavin Shevlin (two-time World Champion, Riverdance, Lord of the Dance), Sean Michael McHugh (two-time World Champion, Lord of the Dance), Ciara Loughran (Senior Ladies World Champion, Lord of the Dance), Luke Chaumont, Blaine Donovan (Riverdance), Karaleigh Desmond, Liam Fitzgerald, Ella Giammichele, Rochelle Hoffmann, Callum O’Neill (World Champion, Riverdance), Fiona Reynolds, and Tyler Watkins. Musicians Charlie Galloway and Erin Rae round out the cast.

A Taste of Ireland is produced by Pace Live (Brent Pace, Ceili Moore) and the creative team includes scenic designer Gavin Leahy, lighting designer Ben Hughes, and vision and sound designers Jack Kearney and Tyler Watkins.
