Not sure why I flared this as arts/culture 👀

No casting yet, so who could embody the Clogger King of Chicago?

  1. What new ‘sexy Irish masculinity’ was stalking the land during the Celtic Tiger years? I suppose I also mean..why ‘new’? Flatley had his shirt off at every opportunity, but I always thought of him as an American dancer, rightly or wrongly. What’s sexy in an Irish man was sexy before and after those few years! Baby oil on the torso of a preening egomaniac isn’t my idea of spiced beef! (Now an oiled Farrell would be another matter, naturally)

  2. Wasn’t that the point in Blackbird? That may as well have been the concise life story of post Riverdance Michael Flatley. An iconic work that will be revered for its bold decisions and bizarre story beats.
