Went to see this recently. Shivers, spine, etc.
Evokes a memory or two that is worth awakening, IMHO.
For the first time it occurred to us as a nation that we could actually be sexy... That Irish dancing wasn't twee... That we had such a lot to be proud of. That we had so much potential.
And then we unleashed it! I'd love it if we could get back to that. The pride in our own ability, taken with a pinch of humility that didn't make us too big for our boots.
I hope we can get back to that. To being a great little nation.
Have a look - I hope you enjoy it!

The Irish Times has a lovely montage of the show backstage at the Gaiety Theatre. You can view it here.
