Since October of 2005 Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at Disney Springs has combined great Irish cuisine with event worthy Irish entertainment.  If you enjoyed this popular restaurants’ entertainment in the past, we think you will go head over heals for what just debut.  

‘Rhythms of Raglan 2018’ has been in the works for the past few months rehearsing for this production in Ireland.  

Raglan Road Show Director, David Hayes, promises “an authentic cultural journey that’s both ‘lyrical and rollicking’ … it will take us from Ireland’s Ancient East to the most contemporary of Irish traditional musical content and ideas, all topped off with dance routines that punch and float in equal measure.”

The Raglan Road team passed along some fun facts about the new production, and they were so good I had to share with all of you:

4 new shows throughout each evening, plus a new weekend Rollicking Raglan Brunch show

16 musicians (11 new and 5 returning musicians, including two Scots)

1 “absolutely cracking” new Raglan Road dance troupe with 8 new Irish dancers and one troupe veteran, many who have toured the world

16 new dance routines and 14 new songs

55 new pieces of musical content from songs and instrumentals to jigs and reels that show the journey of Irish music throughout the world from Trad to Celtic Rock to Funk, Latin, Bluegrass

A suite of stage shows telling the musical and visual stories of Ireland’s culture that spans thousands of years from ancient times to today

A brand-new tech department and 3 new engineers
