Musical Aesthetics Answer - March

I figured this one was going to be tricky because the musical itself may not actually be considered a musical....however

I got some good answers and people did pick up on the Irish theme, so the answer is...

Lord of the Dance

 
Some people may be unfamiliar with this musical, but I grew up with it and it's always been a favorite of mine. There's no dialogue, but the dancing tells the story just the same. Traditional Irish artistry creates a fantasy epic that is more or less the story of Jesus (The Lord of the Dance) coming to redeem mankind from the great fallen evil (Don Dorcha, the Lord of Darkness). More than anything it's a love letter to Irish legends and traditions that's not only told through dance, but also beloved Celtic songs and beautiful music. My full movie review should be out on Saint Patrick's Day!

Just be kind. I don't tolerate any rudeness at all. So just be careful with what you write and how you write it.
