The Return of Michael Flatley as Lord Of The Dance

Speaking ahead of his Manchester return, Flatley said: "I am very excited to dance again". I've created many shows but Lord of the Dance has a special place in my heart and I haven't performed in it since 1998."

Michael will be joined in Manchester by a 40 strong cast, some of whom performed originally with Michael when the show debuted in 1996.

For 14 years Lord of the Dance has captivated audiences around the world, playing to over 60 million people in over 60 countries in every continent.

"It will be different this time around" added Michael, "I've achieved my success and I'm proud of what I've done, this is like a victory lap. This time is for my loyal fans who have been there from the beginning."

Please note, this is a fully seated show.
