(RED BANK, NJ) -- Michael Flatley's Lord Of The Dance – 25th Anniversary Tour comes to the Count Basie Center for the Arts on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 7:30pm. Flatley's ground-breaking choreography for Riverdance was followed by massive global success with the hit show Lord of the Dance.

Michael Flatley once said, “Everyone in the world will tell you, ‘No, it can’t be done.’ Every time I hear that, I know I’m close to success.” This philosophy was a main driving factor in the journey to Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance, which Flatley began developing in 1995 following his departure from Riverdance.

For a quarter of a century, Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance has been dazzling audiences across the globe with its unique combination of high-energy Irish dancing, original music, storytelling, and sensuality. Since its premiere 25 years ago, it has become one the most successful touring productions in entertainment history, having been seen by over 60 million people.

The show will go to the next level in 2023 for its 25th-anniversary tour. Fans can expect new staging, new costumes, and choreography, plus cutting-edge technology, special effects, and remarkable lighting. As the 25th anniversary of Lord of the Dance approaches, Flatley is hard at work preparing a celebration worthy of one of the world’s great entertainment experiences.

Tickets range from $49-$99 and are available for purchase online. Doors open at 6:30pm, showtime is 7:30pm. Count Basie Center for the Arts is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.
