A Taste of Ireland at McAllen Performing Arts Center

‘A Taste of Ireland’: the show that can make an audience laugh, cry, and jig into the night; the show that entertained thousands in over 300 shows performed since 2019; the show that merges cultural traditions with something a tad bit more modern and brings the house down every single time; the show that captivates, mesmerizes, inspires, celebrates, entertains, and shatter all expectations to smithereens. 

Comprising a stellar cast of champion Irish dancers with their roots in ‘Lord of the Dance’ and ‘Riverdance’, ‘A Taste of Ireland’ is slated to dazzle all across the nation this spring, kicking off in Alexandria, Louisiana late February 2025, and wrapping up Ottawa, Kansas. Audiences are in for an unforgettable night featuring a blend of that old Irish charm, contemporary vocalists, and incredible musicians, with revamped classics such as ‘Danny Boy’, ‘Tell Me Ma’, and ‘Wild Rover’. 

‘A Taste of Ireland’ is exactly what it promises - an energetic blend of folk music, mash-ups, reimaginings, new arrangements, and crossovers with other genres that transports the audience through Ireland’s tumultuous history, breathtaking scenery, vibrant costumes, fast-paced and precise choreography, and spectacular lighting effects, all accompanied by live music. It is quite literally a taste of Ireland’s heart and soul presented in a jaw-dropping, intimate live theatrical experience.
