Ryan Stevenson to Star in LORD OF THE DANCE at Edinburgh Playhouse

Michael Flatley's new show Dangerous Games has announced Scottish Dancer Ryan Stevenson will be star in this brand new show coming to the Edinburgh Playhouse on 12-14 May. The show has exciting and ground-breaking new technology, including holographs, dancing robots, world champion acrobats and the greatest team of Irish Dancers in the world. A new score composed by Gerard Fahy, new costumes and special effects lighting add a breath-taking new dimension to the original masterpiece.

"My dancers are the real stars," says Michael Flatley of his troupe of dancers, some of whom have been with the company for 10 years. He is immensely proud of their hard work and dedication. On the UK Tour, Morgan Comer stars as the Lord of the Dance with Tom Cunningham playing the Dark Lord.

Ryan Stevenson started dancing at the age of 4 in his hometown of Glasgow where he later went on to dance for the McCutcheon School. He achieved great success winning British National, Great Britain, American National and World Championship titles. At the age of 18, Ryan joined Lord of the dance where he toured the UK and Europe performing with Michael Flatley himself. Since then, he has been dancing between both troupe 1 and troupe 2 across America, Canada, Brazil and many other countries.

Morgan Comer started dancing at the age of 5. He danced for the Doherty School in Belfast, with his biggest achievement winning the World Championships in 2011. Morgan joined Lord of the Dance in May 2012. The best moment in the show was performing his first lead role as the Lord of the Dance in Killarney in front of Michael Flatley himself. This is a memory he will never forget.

Irish born Tom Cunningham has been with Lord of the Dance since 1997. Growing up in Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan he was first introduced to Irish dance at the age of five when he attended the Orialla dancing school. His talent for Irish dancing soon became clear as he went on to win many major awards including several Ulster, British and North American championships as well as runner up places in the All-Ireland and World championships. At the age of 18 he earned the chance to tour the world with the show and since then he has never looked back. Tom enjoys discovering the cultures of the many places the show tours, most notable favourites include Germany, South Africa, Australia, Italy, and Japan. Tom's most treasured moments include performing with Michael Flatley at Madison Square Garden and in Budapest as well as playing the role of" Don Dorcha" in Feet of Flames, Taiwan 2008 and 2009.
