Celtic Throne II

Celtic Throne II is bringing a brand new Irish dance show, Celtic Throne II - Psalter of Ireland, to Pikes Peak Center on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 at 7:30pm! Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 28, at 10am and are available online at AXS.com or in person at the Pikes Peak Center box office. 

Celtic Throne II—Psalter of Ireland presents an epic story from the mysterious annals of ancient Ireland. This trailblazing new show, a fusion of Irish dance, music, theater and cinema, traces the history of Ollav Fola, the sixth-century B.C. Irish sage and legislator commissioned to perpetuate the legacy of Jerusalem in the British Isles.

“Celtic Throne II—Psalter of Ireland is guaranteed to be unlike any show you’ve ever seen!” said Brad Macdonald, one of the show’s co-directors. “This new show represents a substantial step up from the original Celtic Throne, with new choreography, advances in set design, costumes, lighting and special effects, and state-of-the-art visual technology.”

Like the original show, Celtic Throne—The Royal Journey of Irish Dance, the new score was written by Oklahoma-based, Golden Globe-nominated, award-winning composer and producer Brian Byrne. Macdonald called the new score “a tour de force of cinematic sounds merged with the uplifting rhythms and melodies of classic Irish music.”

Jude Flurry, principal dancer and lead choreographer, said cast members trained with a U.S. Olympic Taekwondo coach for some of the dramatic dance sequences. “We are pushing the boundaries of traditional Irish dance shows and blending rock-solid fundamentals with innovations that give a more theatrical flair and storytelling to match Brian Byrne’s score,” he said. Macdonald said these innovations are “revolutionary and guaranteed to give audiences an unforgettable experience.”

Celtic Throne II's state-of-the-art technical package includes a new 46-foot wide cinematic LED screen.

Armstrong Dance consists of more than 30 Irish dancers, ranging in age from 24 to just 5 years old. The troupe is comprised mostly of students from the Carey Academy, some of whom have placed highly in Worlds, All Irelands, Great Britain and North American Nationals, and other top Irish dance competitions.
