Question. What is it about Celtic Fyre that makes it so successful and appealing? Any other show that is virtually the same since it opened would be drawn and quartered by this forum. Honestly, I hated it the first time I saw it. Since it was such a change from Irish Thunder, which we loved. "What is this American tap dance crap doing here"? However, now I can watch this show all day long, never be bored, and still wipe back a tear during Parting Glass. The American tapping segment has become one of my favorite improv parts of the show. The cast has changed many times, so it isn't just the performance aspect. There is something intrinsic about the show itself.
To start, I think for me it has much to do with Colm O'Foghul's composition and arrangements of the show's music. The dancing, singing, blocking (to some degree), and performers have changed. Though, new performer interaction and tapping changes always help keep it fresh. The constants are the set, script, and music. The set and script certainly are not with me when I'm jamming to the soundtrack cruising to the park. Also, I'd always perk up in the coaster lines when BGW use to play the Celtic Dyne ads and that music came over the speakers. Overall, Celtic Fyre just seems to entail the perfect cocktail of all it's elements.
That was back in 2010...now it has turned into a 30 minute dance off. I still love the show...but I wish it wasn't so much of a dance off now.......and I miss Colin.RE: Celtic Fyre Reviews
I really liked it. They took what was best about Emerald Beat, combined it with bits of Now this is Oktoberfest, and throw in some pieces of Monster Stomp to make a really good show. Good job Busch Gardens. You have a winner on your hands.
According to their website, Sunday August 26th is the last day it will be shown for the seasonAnyone happen to know when the last show is this year? I know it's within the next week or two, but was wondering if anyone knew exactly when. My family and I always try to get out and see the last show of the season.
