GFL Memorial Gardens slated to host performance in April

It’s been a while since GFL Memorial Gardens advertised for a major show, but a scheduled April performance is now on the horizon.

Celtic Illusion, the modern Irish dance and magic stage show, created, choreographed, and starring Anthony Street (Lord of the Dance), will head out on a North American Tour, beginning in 2022.

The show is slated to stop in Sault Ste. Marie on Monday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for the tour go on sale on Feb. 4 and can be purchased online.

Fusing contemporary Irish dance with magic and grand illusions, Celtic Illusion features a cast of champion and internationally acclaimed dancers, including performers from both Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. Displaying some of the fastest taps in the world, the dancers’ thunderous rhythm fills the stage in perfect unison. Celtic Illusion is led by Australia’s Anthony Street, the first Australian to perform leading roles in Michael Flatley’s widely-acclaimed Lord of the Dance, including the very role that Michael Flatley originally performed himself.

Since its premiere in 2011, Celtic Illusion has played to sold-out audiences all across Australia and recently completely sold out a tour in Canada.
