    Dancing was Amazing

    by Heather on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    Can’t believe how incredible these dancers are! Thought there might be a little more magic for our kids entertainment but what they had was quite good. Enjoyed the evening.

    Celtic Illusion Average event

    by DM on 2022-04-15Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Dancing, choreography very entertaining. Singer , sound quality was bad, hard to understand until the last song. Flute player had the same issues with sound quality. Illusions were simple and did not in our opinion bring much to the show, other than giving the dancers a chance for a breather.

    Show seemed amateurish for the first half

    by M30 on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    There were lots of mistakes and it was way more dancing than expected. Not enough illusions and the ones they did were not high tech at all

    Unprofessional, disappointing performance.

    by Vess on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    We left the show after the first half. It was boring, the dancing and singing performance much below my expectations. Especially for the price of the tickets. Do not waste your time and money.

    Great dancing or many illusions

    by Jen on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    The dancing was phenomenal. Great energy. However, 30% of their magic illusions failed. The equipment malfunctioned or something was almost dropped. The magic that worked as great, but there was not enough magic to be use illusion in the description. They could replace the singer with more magic. She was good but didn’t make sense to the overall act. It wasn’t Celtic or part of a magic act(except one). The dancing was fantastic, the show should be more geared on that,

    Meh

    by Irish at Heart on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    It seemed really choppy, no story line what so ever, had the vibe of conflict on stage, and failed illusions. The main performer was so frustrated that he swore on stage, not quite quiet enough for second row seating. The dancing was amazing wish there was more of it

    Show with some little improvements

    by Frank on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    I realized that the sound of this dancing / stepping came from the tape? Probably to make it sounds more real? One show / illusion was kinda not clear to us what it was about. People stayed in the cage and nothing really happened. Guess something didn’t work out. But still it was a nice show.

    Great night at the Jubilee

    by Lilbit on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    The show was amazing! From the dancers, to the singers and violinist and flute player, to the illusions, it is well worth the money to see such a fantastic show.

    A fun return to the Jubilee Auditorium

    by Boiler John on 2022-04-15Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    We were surprised that there did not appear to be any/sufficient handicapped parking stalls. Nevertheless we managed, with some difficulty, to make it from the parkade to the event. Possibly 40 minutes into the show there was an equipment malfunction which took 25 minutes or so to repair. Nevertheless, when the show resumed the rest of the show was very well done and memorable.

    Mediocre

    by Jan on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Expensive for the show quality. Minimal set, nothing extravagant or overly impressive performance wise. It felt like a show for a cruise ship.

    Whelming....

    by Carissa on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    My mother saw an advertisement for this show and was excited to take me. I am a fan of magic shows and dance, this seemed like a exciting combination of the two. The house lights dimmed and the violinist appeared in a long sequined gown, followed thereafter by the first dancers. This opening sequence had a lot of action but we missed half of it because the ushers were bringing in several groups of latercomers who walked along the seats in front of us. Most theatre events I attend require latecomers to wait for a scene change before being seated. What followed was mostly Celtic dancing, with the men in trashy costume vests and no shirts, the women all in traditional gender roles of long hair and short skirts. I get it, they dance with their legs, and they sweat while dancing so maybe they save on laundry by not wearing shirts. Except for the two scenes near the end where the male dancer had a shirt on, but unbuttoned the whole way. Why? Just why? The illusions were consistently disappointing, with the exception of one little fountain of confettti. Yep. It began with the stage hand who plain as day wheeled out a "magic shrouded cage" in his denim jeans and T-shirt, not something he could have worn theatrical-all-black for, or perhaps this could have been choreographed for the dancers to do. The "magician" made a "beautiful woman" appear from this cage, when with a flourish she simply stood up inside it. Later in the show this magic cage made another appearance, with the magician stepping inside, the shroud dropping, the stage lights from behind illuminating the shadow of him swapping places with another dancer, and then the big reveal of the curtain drop to see a different person! How did they make this happen?!? I think there was one or two more "illusions", definitely not worth describing. What really made this disappointing was the strong representation of traditional gender roles. The men had two numbers with strong bold music and costuming, ultra masculine, whereas the women's scenes were them flitting about like fairies, oh so delicate in tiny leotards. How about the ment wear the sparkly booty shorts and the women get the long trench coats? 10 out of 10 would not recommend, unless you're really into Celtic dance and the tropes that go along with it. I thought this would be a modern reinvention of a classic dance form.

    Incredible

    by Irish on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    The costumes and lighting were amazing. We could see most of the ‘magic’ parts of the show. The dancing was wonderful and penetrating to watch. Nice take on adding modern pop culture to the shows lineup. Violinist was amazing. The singer had an incredible voice. Would highly recommend the show.

    Review Celtic Illusion

    by Dee on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Expecting a bigger show after seeing Riverdance many years ago. Dancers were good but they need many more dancers to make it a spectacular show. Singing did not add much to the show, nor did the illusions which were not very spectacular. Better to stick to what they know best - dancing!

    Entertaining, but room for improvement

    by Deaner on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Venue was great, seats were excellent and the dancing was amazing 🤩 The show seemed a bit disjointed/disconnected, flitting from singing, to violin, to magic - with very little to connect, or any story. Singing was ok, a bit muffled to begin with and definitely improved by the end.

    Not worth the cash

    by MadeInCanada on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    The seating was the worst. I couldn’t see the stage due to the tall/large people in the rows ahead. I even traded seats and it was still hard to see the performance. I’ll never waste my money for anything in the Jubilee auditorium.

    Irish Illusions

    by Bev on 2022-04-14Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    The picking up of the tickets was excellent. I have never done this on line before and was afraid of how to pick up the tickets and if I had the correct seats but my tickets were waiting for me. No line-ups and the staff were very pleasant. The complaint I do have was with the music. Especially the singer. I could not hear her at all because the back ground music was overpowering her voice. The dancers, fiddler and flute player were excellent. I am sure the singer was too if I could have heard her.
