Michael Flatley to Take LORD OF THE DANCE: DANGEROUS GAMES Coast-to-Coast in New National Tour

Following his acclaimed Broadway debut, Michael Flatley has announced the highly anticipated U.S. tour of his Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games which, like the current Broadway engagement, Mr. Flatley himself will headline in what will mark his final onstage appearances as a performer following a remarkable 20 year run as the creator and star of the Lord of the Dance franchise.

The production, subtitled Dangerous Games, which has already performed to sold-out audiences at the Playhouse Theatre in London and the Lyric Theatre in New York, will kick off its national tour at the BB&T Center in Florida and visit to major cities in the U.S. including Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, among many others.

"We have heard requests from our fans across the country who could not make it to New York to bring the show to them and we have decided to do a small tour of the US." said creator and performer Michael Flatley. "I haven't performed in America for years and we are really looking forward to ending this tour and my time on stage with a bang!

Live Nation added "Live Nation is thrilled to be part of the North American dates on the exciting Lord Of The Dance tour as the legendary Michael Flatley embarks on his farewell tour. He is an incredible talent and an inspiration for artists around the world."

Trailblazing Irish dancer Michael Flatley is the creator of the internationally-recognizable brand Lord of the Dance which singlehandedly brought Irish Dance to a global audience with productions in countless countries around the world for over two decades. Of The Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games on Broadway, The New York Times said: "Undeniably exciting... Mr. Flatley's charisma is incomparable.
