From the producers of the smash hit and fastest growing Irish dance show in the U.S., Rhythm in the Night, comes Carol of the King: The Irish Dance Christmas Spectacular.
It will appear at The Newton Theatre on Sunday, December 16, 2018.
Led by the founder of Two Step Productions and former lead dancer of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, Justin Boros, Carol of the King brings together Irish dance and Christmas for the first time to create an exciting Irish dance Christmas spectacular for the entire family.
Winter has fallen across the land. King Solomon and his kingdom prepare for the Christmas season celebration. While cold winds caress the landscape, one gust brought an unearthly chill not felt before. The dark sorceress Circe and her ghostly legion known as The Frost are upon the land. She has trapped the legendary King Solomon under her spell in an attempt to steal the throne and expel Christmas once and for all. Unable to free himself and carry forth the holiday spirit, hope remains lost for all those in the kingdom ... until now.
In a brave effort to rescue their king and preserve the spirit of the season, the kingdom has called upon Solomon’s loving companion Brighid, his younger brother Aidan and the Guardians to restore harmony to the land. With the frigid forces attempting to break the will of the crown and banish Christmas for eternity, will darkness reign or will victory be seized from Circe’s icy grip in the legend that has come to be known as Carol of the King.
Carol of the King brings an original inspiring Christmas story of love and salvation to life, transporting the audience to a time and place of heroes and redemption. The world-renowned troupe, featuring 20 of the world’s most skilled Irish dancers and musicians, performs lighting fast hard shoe rhythms and graceful soft shoe jigs to an original epic orchestral soundtrack featuring many Holiday favorites.
Tickets start at just $34 and can be purchased at The Newton Theatre box office at 219 Spring Street in Newton, NJ; online at www.TheNewtonTheatre.com; or by calling 973-940-NEWT.
