起先朋友把演出的flyer给我看时，我还傻乎乎地以为是音乐歌舞剧呢。朋友说他们前些日子去纽约看百老汇类似的演出要五六十刀，而这场演出在我们这小城 最便宜的票才十二元。俺这爱贪便宜的当然不肯舍弃机会，二话没说就订了票。
演出那天，俺套上新买的小礼服（148刀折到18刀），脚蹬AK的不变应万变的尖头鞋，拽着俺家二宝直奔小城的音乐厅去也。第一幕看下来，俺发现这不是irsh’s folk dance吗。俺一爱尔兰同事的女儿酷爱此舞，曾经在公司的国际节表演过，俺很喜欢里面欢乐明快的节奏。坐旁边的女友也说她九十年代中期刚到密国时，就知道Michael Flatley的大名，那时他如雷贯耳，演出非常畅销。俺这时才有机会看演出的节目单扫盲：
Michael Flatleys name is synonymous with the wave of Celtic dance mania that began sweeping the world in the mid-1990s and has continued to grow steadily ever since. He is the American-born dance pioneer who created Lord of the Dance - the most popular touring dance production in history. The youngest son of Irish parents who immigrated to the U.S. After WWII, Flatley spent much of his childhood in their native Ireland, where he developed an affinity for the traditional form of Celtic dance. It is this form of dance that Flatley combined with ultramodern techniques and a synergistic blend of other styles to create Loard of the Dance.
这种爱尔兰民族舞和踢踏舞的结合，有时也有点芭蕾舞的风彩，别说是很好看，特别是男演员一起跳时，噼里啪啦地踢踏声很好听，舞者也潇洒自如。总之这十几刀的演出还是很值的，只可惜俺家二宝虽然一身绅士打扮可是却绅士风度尽失，从中场休息时就吵着回家，最后失落地埋在座位里睡觉，哎，以后再不带男孩儿看这种歌舞演出啦。
