Ceilidh

Ceilidh [KAY-lee]: a traditional Scottish social gathering involving dancing, music and storytelling.

Based on one of Scotland’s oldest and most beloved customs, Ceilidh combines dynamic storytelling with communal dances all led by a rich, raucous score and powerful, heartfelt book by Scottish writers Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie (Hi My Name Is Ben, The Snow Goose) and helmed with direction and choreography by the acclaimed, Tony Award-winner Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!; The Great Comet of 1812).

All are welcome to join the celebration at Ceilidh, the exhilarating theatrical experience that is like nothing you’ve ever seen before! As the story of Ceilidh unfolds around you, you’ll be swept into a whirlwind of lively Scottish dances, where every step tells a tale and honors a tradition passed down through generations of “callers.” At its heart, Ceilidh is a musical about family, legacy, the enduring power of stories and having a good time! It will leave you with a lasting feeling of joy long after the last dance ends.
