Celtic Crossroads

This show was an epic blend of ballads that made you swoon, jigs that made you want to get out of your seats, dance that made you shake your head in amazement, stories that made you want to travel to Ireland and jokes that made you fall in love with all the performers. If I didn't have to work this week I would have followed the tour bus to the next show! Glad I have the cd's and DVD to enjoy this troupe for a long time!

My husband and I have seen Celtic Crossroads twice, and both times they brought the crowds to their feet in standing ovations. Marcus was absolutely superlative as lead dancer, and we could not get enough of him! Violinist Michael McClintock dazzled with his "gypsy" music on the violin. We liked the spacing of the band on stage, and the classy, colorful set design that so tastefully showcases each member. We loved their talent, energy, humor, and spirit! The show is seamlessly produced and there was never a dull moment. I would strongly encourage anyone to see Celtic Crossroads in a live show. We're going again to the upcoming Visalia, CA concert Apr.7th., 2012.

I enjoyed the show until I learned my boss got her tickets for $10. and I paid over $50. Loved the story-telling, music, musician abilities and dancing.

What a pleasant surprise!!! Didn't know what to expect and the time went by so fast! The music was GREAT and the musicians were quite humorous and personable. The different instruments were fun to see and hear. The dancing was wonderful to watch. Great performance - so glad we went.

Great music, wonderful singing out of this world dancing! Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the entire performance. The Irish music was great with a nice touch of US Bluegrass.

The Celtic Crossroads show on Sunday, January 16, was the best Irish music show I've ever seen! These extremely talented young men and women were so full of energy and enthusiasm, the audience could not stop clapping and cheering after each set they played! I love the way they take traditional Irish music and put their youthful energy into it. But they also could play other types of music just as well. The flute player (Isaac) was terrific with his jazz/blues improvisations. Every single musician (6) and dancers (2) were so talented and had such great personalities when talking to the audience. You could tell that they really get along with one another, too. I can't wait to see them again!

The music was marvelous, preformed by extremely talented, professional performers. We were enchanted. The auditorium offered a pleasant surrounding except for the sun that caused the audience to hold their programs to shield their eyes from the harsh sunlight.shining through the many windows. It seems blinds or shades are needed.

Wonderful music and Fantastic artists! Excellent show....

I ve seen a few Irish dance,or song troupes before,and this group had some exceptional musicians,ans some capable dancers,but,the lead female songstress,had a clear,precise,utterly seductive voice as sharp as a knife.....Not knowing if her love of Irish music drives her career,but,she could easily crossover to another genre,an be successful,super successful in my opinion....fantastic voice....loved the show....

Singing, dancing, musicianship- all of it was awesome!

Celtic Crossroads blew us away - they are all outstanding musicians - very personable introducing songs and telling stories - clearly they love playing together. The music ranged from haunting to rumbling along - singing was outstanding and the 3 dancers were fantastic too and on just the right amount of time - not all dancing throughout the show. Highly recommend seeing them. Burnsville perfroming arts center is a beautiful gem I had never been too as well. The mayor introduced the show.

This group is very energic, entertaining, and fun to listen to. The musicianship of the goup is outstanding, and each member has multiple musical talents. I especially liked how they explained about the music and their instruments between songs. The dancing was fabulous and mixed with humor. I'll definitely see them again when they're back in our area.

The staff was fantastic. I recently had knee surgery and could not sit in our assigned seat. They were quite helpful and changed our seats at last the minute. The show was outstanding and the level of talent remarkable. Really full of high energy.

This band is incredible! Such talented musicians with huge personalities! I recommend you see them!

Average. Would be a good bar band, but for the road: get a good manager and beef it up.

Very disappointed with this event. The step-dancing was overdone. Boring.

I expected a showcase of Irish music, instead they played music from Scotland and the South of US as well as some Irish. Also I was thinking it would be a Big show but it seemed to be a series of solos or duets on a stage with flashing lights behind the performers and the extra performers standing around as observers. Maybe it got better in the second half, I left at the intermission. Going to any local free or low cost musical event would be better.

THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT SHOW,,,MUSIC WAS VERY GOOD DONE BY VERY TALENTED MUSICIANS....THE YOUNG LADY HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AS WELL AS OTHER TALENTS ON THE STRINGS...DANCERS WERE GREAT AND ENERGETIC...WE WILL BE COMING BACK NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN TOWN...I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SHOW TO ALL MY FRIENDS. DEFINITELY A 5 STAR PERFORMANCE BY ALL.

My girlfriend loved it!! I was still singing the songs after we left.

The performers were excellent!! Top quality talent that keeps you on your toes--not to miss! Regarding searing at performing arts center, we had PITR DD 6,8,10,12. 10 and 12 had a partially obstructed view; they were not as shown in "view from these seats" per online seating chart. Seats 6,8--great! We were able to move two seats toward center, so all fine.

Great show with talented performers. Very entertaining...would see it again

i bought the tickets as a Christmas present for my mother. My wife and I were to take her, unfortunately I got called into work. My sister took my place and all three women thoroughly enjoyed both the show and the venue!

What a wonderful blend of traditional tunes with modern styles. Each musician was at the top of his craft.

They were awesome and energetic: would definitely recommend!

The whole group was very talented but my favorite entertainer was Amy on the Harp. She played the fiddle equally well but was so very beautiful on the harp. She also played the audience to the max with such a charming smile and allure that can't be explained. The dancers were very talented and literally floated across the floor at times and others just amazed me with the fast foot and toe work.

Great musicianship! Excellent venue at The National in Richmond, VA. Band members have dry Irish humor with excellent audience connection in between songs. Dancers were very talented. Cannot say enough good about the musicians! Nice variety of music and styles, not all Celtic, but mostly so.

The show was so entertaining and the talented performers were amazing. Loved it

It is a sweet lyrical and yet upbeat tune that keeps your feet tapping and fingers snapping

The music, dancing and show was amazing! For our first time seeing Celtic Crossroads, we are hooked. Our favorite new show. And this is our fourth time to the Birchmere, and once again we are not disappointed! Great venue=greater show!

The music was phenomenal. The musicians had a sense of humor. The dancing added a lot to the music. I enjoyed all of it. We bought a celtic crossroads program for $5 and it was disappointing to find it did not have the musicians in it that we saw. I wanted to read about the people I had just seen, not others that had done the show. It was confusing, because, I thought this was the original group.

Very talented musicians played a variety of toe-tapping , hand-clapping tunes. Dancers were amazing.

What a wonderful group of talented musicians! A great variety of songs, singing and dancing. Glad I found these tickets, especially when I heard that this was the only Minesota stop they were making In Minnesota. Would certainly see them again.

Great variety of music, humor and dance. An unforgettable event. Could have listened for another hour.

I thoroughly enjoyed Celtic Crossroads. The musical and dance performances were tremendous and each performer was a delight when he/she spoke. My first experience in the auditorium and, being tall, I would have enjoyed more leg room. Also, having exit doors at the far ends would have helped our egress. Lovely experience otherwise.

While Celtic Crossroads does not have the glamorous sets of many Celtic touring groups, they more than make up for it in sheer talent. Each musician is a master of his/her instrument; combined they are an upbeat, versatile goup. I have never heard anyone play Orange Blossom Express as fast as they did. The two dancers were a welcome addition, especially when the clogger danced without music. We could really hear his tapping ability.

What can I say? I wasn't disappointed except with our seats. Way too far in the back .. I liked the personal style of the show, and all those guys and gals are awesome.

Great music and dancing. The group projected nice personalities.
