The Lord of the Dance extravaganza took Cardiff by storm, and Dangerous Games, the latest instalment in the series certainly took the dance genre to another level with special effects lighting and holographs adding yet further dimensions to the winning formula.

These shows mark the iconic Michael Flatley’s final involvement with the series, and at 56 years of age, he is honest enough to admit that after years of punishment, his body just can’t take anymore!

The face of dance was transformed following the legendary seven minute intermission of Flatley’s Riverdance during 1994’s Eurovision, and moving on to the Lord of the Dance series, two years later, Flatley completely re-interpreted Irish dance into the phenomenon it has become today.

He is the first to praise the remarkable talent of his cast, and with three ‘lords’ primed to take his place it was Morgan Comer in the lead role for this leg of the tour.

Commanding, yet engaging, he won the Cardiff audience over with his first appearance, and guided them effortlessly through the basic storyline of good versus evil.

In spite of the show’s dynamic special effects, it is still, nevertheless, the dancing that does the talking and as the story unfolds the audience’s reactions rise and fall to the pounding of the taps.

The technical demands on the dancers are immense and this time there are elements of ballet, and jazz included in the mix. The trademark footwork is fast, clean and complex.

Add in an army of stormtroopers, a beautiful temptress, a duet of violins and an alluring torch-singer, and you have a spectacular.

This production runs until April 12. Tel: 02920 878444 to book
