Ceilidh

Ceilidh is a brand new musical that brings Scottish tradition to life in a vibrant, immersive evening of song, dance and storytelling.

Ceilidh is a new musical built around the Scottish ceilidh, the social gathering of folk music and dancing. A caller leads the room through the evening, and the audience is drawn into the dancing as the performance unfolds. Beneath the revelry, a family story develops around love, legacy and the reasons the gathering matters.

The production has previously been staged in Baltimore and Pitlochry, and this London production is its premiere in the city. It was created by Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie, the duo behind Noisemaker, and is directed and choreographed by Sam Pinkleton, a Tony Award winner whose credits include Oh, Mary!.

Shoreditch Town Hall is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and this musical is presented there as part of its programme of performances.
