With the exception of Cathal Keaney, whom I always thought was an outstanding dancer, I find the rest of this production, to be FAR BELOW the standards of the original show in 1996. The main problem being the costumes. The Dark Lord and his troop look like RoboCop, or Cyborgs. I want to see at least SOME of the dancer's own features but these guys are in full costumes. The weird, marshmallow jumpsuits of the women and the temptress now in black leather pants instead of the beautiful red sequined dress originally worn by Gillian Norris. The original show was a masterpiece but too much change in the wrong direction, has made it hard to watch. They can start by going back to Ronan Hardiman's music and the original choreography. But as it is now ? It's a mess.🫣
