“That's Entertainment!” 

 

Program Description: 

That’s Entertainment!, available as a 60 minute pledge special, and a 90 minute pledge event version, is the group’s most ambitious project to date. Filmed in front  of a live studio audience in Toronto, Celtic Thunder has delivered a spectacular show that will enchant and amaze their PBS fans. Staged on a “set” that measures 130 foot long by 47 foot wide, there is nothing small about Sharon Browne’s latest production. A grand piano sits on a bandstand, twinkling lights overlook a luscious green lawn with a white marble fountain and romantic park bench, and men in tuxedos, top hats and tails all reflect the romance and nostalgia of times gone by. 

 

That’s Entertainment! is a musical review that spans 6 decades and will delight and enthrall all members of the PBS family, whether through a nostalgic reminiscence of old classics such as “Standing on the Corner” or the band’s unique take on contemporary numbers such as Michael Buble’s “Home” or U2’s hit “Still Haven’t Found What I am Looking For”. The five lead members of Celtic Thunder have brought their talents to a whole new level with the support of their amazing band, and the introduction of 9 sensational dancers featured throughout the show. The audience can watch Damian standing on the corner as he shyly serenades his first love, or Paul strutting down the lane with top hat and cane as they’ve never seen him before.  They can marvel as bad boy Ryan finds his dancing groove as Leroy Brown, in a wonderful troupe performance, or grin as Keith pays homage to his surfer roots in a colorful medley that celebrates his youthful and exuberant charm – and talent on the guitar.  While George, as always calm and steady, brings it all back home. Celtic Thunder – That’s Entertainment! is exactly what is claims to be, pure entertainment that features something for all ages. That’s Entertainment! celebrates the delightful personalities of each performer in a colorful, unique combination of big band swing with modern classic pop – this is a show not to be missed.
