An Irish dance show with a beating heart, a cinematic spine, and a family’s will to make culture live—Celtic Throne 2 takes center stage. We welcome lead dancer Jude and producer George to pull back the curtain on how a homegrown troupe turned years of training, cross-discipline grit, and a fierce love of heritage into a touring spectacle that’s winning over audiences across the UK and the U.S.

We trace the origins from Oklahoma to Britain, where Jude trained under Riverdance great John Carey, and into a creative process that treats Irish dance like high storytelling. Golden Globe–nominated composer Brian Byrne scores the production with sweeping, film-ready music, while an LED backdrop sets the scene for battles, councils, and journeys. The narrative follows Olam, an ancient sage who carries culture from Jerusalem after 586 BC and helps it flower in Ireland, confronting enemies of memory and meaning along the way. It’s not just steps; it’s characters, conflict, and purpose you can feel in the floor.

Beyond the myth, we talk craft: tricking and acrobatics threaded into hardshoe, dancers who also play instruments, and a family army backstage stitching costumes, loading LEDs, and keeping a 40-person cast moving. The UK crowds were tough and thrilled—some even called the show better than Riverdance—fueling a winter run through the Midwest with an eye on a summer tour. If you’re ready to experience Irish dance with cinematic power and a story that fights for what matters, grab tickets at CelticThrone.com, dive into the YouTube behind-the-scenes, and stream the score to bring the pulse home.
