Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games, Playhouse Theatre, Northumberland Ave, central London

Cheesy, tacky, incoherent and cringeworthy, Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games is full of superfluous fluff. The start is pedestrian, the plot is crude, the acting childish, the costumes laughable and the singing harsh. Even so, this show is well worth seeing just to enjoy the extraordinary speed, timing and precision of expert Irish folk dancing live. As the catchy music picks up speed and a dozen or so dancers accelerate through the intricate steps, the effect is both entrancing and exhilarating. The audience rightly love it. Morgan Cromer - the male lead at the Playhouse - must be one of the best exponents of traditional Irish dancing in the world and the rest of the cast know what they are doing. Moving at a dazzling pace, their feet whirl effortlessly in time to the high-tempo beat, while their torsos remain almost motionless.
