Celtic Fyre

The only change I'd love to see is to bring the birds back.

I know the park cut a lot of their animal care staff but not having it in the show just feels off.

It would be nice to see them rotate through drinking songs too. Keep things fresh! I really liked the Christmas songs they did. Those put a nice spin on the show.

This. I remember the first time I saw the show they had the birds and the Irish Setters included in the show and I thought it was so cool! Still felt like the old Busch days when they tried to incorporate trained animals in the shows wherever possible.

The birds were not their's they were breed own trained an cared for by the company that ran Pet Shenanigans. They had already been cut from the show plans for 2020 to save money before Covid hit and the company went away.

Celtic Fyre was amazing today. The energy was electric. Sad it is the last week coming up. Can't wait for next weekend's shows. The final weekend of shows are always awesome. The cast was on fire today. Thank you to the cast for a great season.

How about they “uncover” a studio recording of Streets of Dublin or Parting Glass?

I was there for the final show of the season last night. I had only been able to catch it a few times this year but I honestly feel that this was one of the strongest seasons and cast in the last few years and I was just blown away by the preference.

It was an absolutely phenomenal season finale. Several of the cast had tears in their eyes, even the Barkeep got choked up singing The Parting Glass. This show always has strong talent and it is such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for 15 years Celtic Fyre!!!!

This show really has become an institution, hasn’t it? Almost full house for the 2PM show today and everyone was really into it. And the cast they have this year is fantastic.

Yep, another strong cast, and another year with next to no changes (good—don't trust Ent enough to take a gamble on change yet).

I'll be curious to see if the cast changes any in the weeks ahead. It's a little weird to see women in some of the traditionally male roles in the show. I don't hate it to be clear—they did a great job—but the gender breakdown definitely feels off-balance to me at the moment.

I remember in previous seasons the cast does rotate more once the park gets to daily operation. Even though Celtic fyre doesn’t show daily, they do rotate the Irish dancing cast around quite a bit and also get more shows they take a break from compared to the acting cast. The musician cast almost always stays the same through the show season.

I'm curious if there is a shortage of male dancers and they are using the females to fill in? It speaks volumes to the talent of the women who have the ability to perform both roles.

It did not appear that way to me.

In honor of St Patrick's day photos from the opening show of the year.

Here's some more general pictures of the show to go along with @horsesboy ones above. Enjoy!

Conversations with cast members yesterday confirmed that there is a shortage of male dancers this season. Roles are being modified to utilize women in the traditional male roles. It was very evident during the 5:15 show with two women as part of the groom's party. The interaction during the 'tap-off' was unique as it was two females interacting and it was quite enjoyable. It was more of a collaboration and not anything romantic or flirty.

the shortage of male dancers is disappointing, but glad to hear they have found some good ways to work with the issue as opposed to just cutting parts short.
