Hershey, Pa. -- While Irish Dance is an art that enjoys a history as impressive as its hypnotic fury of feet echoing off the stage, a new production has turned the age-old form into the most exciting Irish dance performance ever to be experienced and will take the stage of Hershey Theatre on Friday, March 18, 2016 at 8:00 PM: Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular.

Tickets for this show are $30.00, $40.00, $45.00, $50.00 and $55.00 (tax and applicable fees apply) and are available at Hershey Theatre Box Office. They can be charged by phone at 717-534-3405 and online at www.HersheyEntertainment.com or www.TicketMaster.com.

Featuring some of the most dynamic and accomplished Irish dancers in the world, Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular takes its audience on an exciting journey derived from a tale of good versus evil where deception reigns and temptation rivals even the strongest of wills.

Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular is led by Justin Boros, a professional Irish dancer who created the show following years of touring the United States and Europe as a dancer with Michael Flately's Lord of the Dance. The self-taught dancer, who landed his spot with Lord of the Dance before graduating high school, set-off to create a show unlike any that would appeal to people of all ages and for the entire family.

"I wanted to do something new with the story and soundtrack that would really catch people by surprise and be different from anything they've seen before," said Justin. "Unlike most traditional Irish dance stories, Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular focuses on the villain and his struggle to return to goodness -- which everyone can relate to and finds empowering."

It unfolds during the dark ages when the land was ruled by the wicked sorceress Azura, whose spell has trapped the legendary hero Balor under her control as hope becomes lost for the entire kingdom. Balor is played by Boros, whose unique physical build at 6'4" and 280 lbs. allows him to perform the lead role of villain in a way never before seen in dance productions.

Adding to the drama and excitement, Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular features an original soundtrack that delivers an orchestral atmosphere of epic proportions. Breaking away from the traditional sounds of pipes and fiddles, the show's music resembles a film score and was crafted specifically for the production's choreography which took nearly two years.
