Essence Of Ireland coming to Birmingham

On the back of a hugely successful 2010 tour, the spectacular show Essence Of Ireland returns to the New Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham, with a brand new show that is bigger and better than ever.

Essence of Ireland arrives on Friday, November 4, 2011 for one night only. Tickets cost £23-£24.50 plus fees on 0844 871 3011 or at www.atgtickets.com/birmingham

Essence Of Ireland follows the story of Sean Dempsey and Coro McGowen, who meet in Ireland in the 1940s, but are forced apart when Sean moves to New York to find work. The moving story depicts the letters sent between the two during their time apart.

Combining breathtaking dance routines with the very best of Irish music and a touch of Irish craic, all cleverly woven into a heart-warming tale, Essence Of Ireland is performed by a cast of some of the country's finest dancers, singers and musicians. You'll hear songs such as Galway Girl, Carrickfergus, You Raise Me Up and Song for Ireland, to name a few.

With a live band, a hugely talented cast of dancers, and plenty of dazzling costumes Essence Of Ireland captures the true spirit of the Emerald Isle.
