I was a little worried that the traveling show would be dummed down for such a small town crowd, but I was pleasantly surprised. The music was great! All of the singers and musicians were pretty impressive, and I am a musician so I am picky. The Irish step dancers were meh. I was totally underwhelmed by the women, including the female lead. The men were ok, and the male lead was good. It's just hard to watch someone besides Micheal Flatley perform the role. No one else has his charisma without crossing the line into obnoxious. Speaking of cocky, the tappers were good, but I was totally turned off by one of their numbers attitude. He wasn't even the good one. I really liked the flamenco dancer. Her costumes were great, but she got a little upstaged by the step dancers they brought on to dance with her. I thought that was completely unnecesary. The Russian folk dancers were actually pretty cool! They did some things I had never seen before. The costuming was good, the lights were sometimes annoying, and I had a little trouble seeing around a speaker, but overall a pretty decent show.

Favorite moment: The show was good overall, but there was no stand out act. @
