A Taste of Ireland

7:30 pm

Direct from Off-Broadway and London's West End, the internationally acclaimed A Taste of Ireland Company comes to Trenton with its flagship production, A Taste of Ireland: The Irish Music & Dance Sensation, and for one night Patriots Theater at the War Memorial becomes a little corner of modern Ireland.

Performed by former World Irish dance champions and featuring dancers from the recent West End cast of Éireann, Lord of the Dance, and Riverdance, it brings the spirit and energy of Ireland to life with a pint of Irish wit. Watch world-class performers weave live singing, live tap battles, and the Irish songs you know and love, from Danny Boy to Tell Me Ma to Wild Rover, into a reimagined contemporary score that blossoms alongside the brash charm of the live cast.

Emotional, immersive, and unapologetically Irish, it is a love letter to Ireland: its music, its movement, its stories, its craic. The lights go down, the cast takes the stage, and somewhere between the first beat and the last the whole room finds itself immersed in the show. Laugh, cry, and jig into the night.

One night in Trenton before it takes off around the globe once again. Find a seat, bring a loved one, and for two hours, lose yourself in A Taste of Ireland.
