Here I go again, letting my fingers get the best of me. :)

I was just checking out the webpage of the Austin Paramount Theatre, looking
for information on silent movies, and I found an announcement for a "Celtic
Rock Musical" called CELTICFUSION. I thought I'd mention it here, since the
touring show will play 3 venues in Michigan, this Spring. (Is March Spring
for y'all?)

From the information I've gleaned from the website
http://www.celticfusion.com
I gather that this is another type of Irish step-dance show, in the same vein
as "Riverdance" and "WAVES." Co-creators Liam Harney and Kevin Patterson,
along with composer Ivan Drever and lighting designer Eric Lotze are the only
team members listed on the website, and it looks as if they are trying to
recruit champion Irish step dancers from around the country. It will be
interesting to see how this all comes together. 

The three Michigan performances are:
Mar 9 - River Raisin Center - Monroe MI
Mar 11 - The Rozsa Center - Houghton MI
Mar 17 - Sturgis-Young Auditorium - Sturgis MI
and last, (but never least)
Apr 7 - Paramount Theatre - Austin TX
the remaining Spring dates are listed at

It looks like there was an Autumn tour, in the Northeast, Virginia, and
California, so maybe somebody out there has seen this already, and can
comment.
