Lord of the Dance (1997 Video)
5/10
Awesome show, horrendous video
4 April 2005
As other reviewers have pointed out, the camera angles change every two or three seconds, whether the troupe is dancing or the audience is applauding. By the end of the second number I was dizzy and almost nauseous, and was almost completely unable to appreciate the excellence of the dance. What I did see made me wish I could have seen the show in person; the story, performance, staging, and everything else involved in the theater audience's experience was brilliantly done (at least, as far as I could tell). It's a pity the film directing and editing couldn't have been done by someone who knows a thing or two about filming dance -- that completely spoiled the show for me.
