Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance: Chaos behind the curtain

The 30th anniversary of Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance spectacle threatens to be overshadowed by turmoil behind the scenes.  Those with tickets for the show in Dublin’s 3Arena have likely had just one question on their minds this week - is this thing going ahead?  Flatley has been locked in a spiky legal battle with Switzer, the events company contracted to run the multi-million-pound stage show.  The drama peaked earlier this week when Switzer issued a statement cancelling the show with immediate effect – a move Flatley succeeded in overturning within hours.  So, how did we get here? And is the show actually going ahead?  

Host: Tessa Fleming. Guests: Shane Phelan and Melanie Finn
