Prepare to be spellbound by one of the world’s most unique and exhilarating stage productions — Celtic Illusion.
The Irish dance and grand illusion phenomenon that has dazzled audiences across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Canada, and the USA is finally making its premiere United Kingdom tour in 2026.
Fusing the thunderous rhythm of Irish dance with mind-blowing magic, Celtic Illusion breaks boundaries like never before. This jaw-dropping spectacle blends the traditional with the contemporary — think the pulse of Fosse, the flair of Michael Jackson, and the power of Broadway — in a show that is truly one of a kind.
Created by Anthony Street, acclaimed illusionist and former lead of Lord of the Dance, the show stars world-class dancers from productions like Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. Set to a soaring original score and remastered classics by award-winning composer Angela Little, every moment is crafted to captivate.
With stunning choreography, breathtaking illusions, and limitless energy, Celtic Illusion will leave you in awe — and wanting more.

(Due to the completion of restoration work over the summer, seats in the Gallery are on a new seating plan for this performance. The lower gallery is now named the Amphitheatre.)
In 2025 our Grade 1 listed Victorian Theatre was awarded £247,500 from The National Lottery Heritage fund, along with matched funding from the Tyne Theatre and Opera House preservation trust this has enabled us to carry out some much needed restoration to our historic Gallery tier.
The work, made possible thanks to money raised by National Lottery players commenced in Summer 2025 and involved the lowering and restoring of traditional sightlines to improve audience comfort, safety and view. This has been achieved by removing a timber overlay, fitted above the original seating rows in 1986, to restore the original seating layout, which improves the sightlines requires less obstructive handrails. This work has also increased the capacity of the gallery tier. New seating designed in a heritage style, accounting for twenty-first century comfort, has been installed supported by a team of new and existing volunteers.
You can book for the gallery via the link below or on the tickets & times tab on the main booking page.
