I purchased the tickets during the promotion offered and was pleasantly surprised upon collecting our tickets to find we had been upgraded to section B. We had excellent seats in the middle with a perfect view of the stage! Although I expected a bit more upbeat numbers, the performances were entertaining. The lighting, big screen angles, and sound allowed me to enjoy it even more. Even leaving the event was without hassle as traffic was very well directed. Overall a very positive experience.Written on Oct 28 2011

A pretty good event for this venue. The upper seats were not sold so the crowd was not too large and parking was fairly easy. The Celtic Thunder attracts a crowd that enjoys "boy band" type acts and each of the performers had their "groupies". We were there to hear traditional Irish music. There was some, but the muscial choices were quite a bit more vaired, with show tunes, rock and a fair amount of country thrown in. The group has some good voices and a polished act. The musical group was interesting with 3 lovely ladies in strange dresses playing harp, fiddle and cello plus drums, synthesizer, guitar and recorder. We would have preferred more group performances with harmony (as in a very well done Danny Boy) than all the solo work but the groupies would probably not agree.Written on Oct 27 2011

Description
With sales surpassing one million combined CD and DVD units and almost half a million show tickets, the entertaining Celtic Thunder pay homage to the musical culture of Ireland with their upcoming North American Fall tour Heritage. In support of their most recent public television special of the same name, the acclaimed show will crisscross the U.S. enthralling fans in 45 cities this fall.
The Celtic Thunder Heritage Tour promises to deliver stirring and show-stopping performances in the tradition of their previous releases (Celtic Thunder: The Show, Act Two, Take Me Home, It’s Entertainment and Christmas), with Celtic Thunder returning to their distinct Irish roots. The tour features performances by fan-favorites - Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Neil Byrne and George Donaldson - along with the newest member of the ensemble, Emmett Cahill. The inspired collection of songs includes Emmet Cahill performing the sweet and tranquil "Kindred Spirits", the toe-tapping ensemble "A Place In The Choir", and Keith Harkin’s version of the romantic ballad “The Dutchman,” and a Keith/Neil duet of the the Thin Lizzy classic "Whiskey In The Jar," to name a few.
In addition to these fan favorites, Celtic Thunder will be adding never-before-seen numbers such as the Gaelic “Dualaman”, and the nostalgic hit “Summer In Dublin”, Steve Earle’s “Galway Girl” and the Grammy award-winning “Everybody’s Talking At Me” amongst others.
Since the airing of their first public television special in 2008, Celtic Thunder consistently remains one of the most popular musical acts for the network. In addition to their impressive sales stats of selling over one million units combined, their official YouTube channel, “Thunder Tube” has received nearly 21 million upload views since its inception in 2008.
Celtic Thunder had the distinct honor of performing for President Obama at The White House’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration in 2009, and they also opened New York City’s famed St. Patrick’s Day Parade on 5th Avenue two consecutive years in a row (2008 & 2009). In addition to appearing in five hugely successful Public Television specials and their multiple appearances on QVC, Celtic Thunder has also performed on Fox & Friends, Today Show, CBS Early Show’s Saturday Second Cup Café and numerous regional shows in major cities across America. Of their live performances, The Virginian-Pilot noted, “no matter what they tackle they do it with ‘beaucoup’ energy.”
