The Irish…and How They Got That Way
The musical revue The Irish...and How They Got That Way is currently being performed at the Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage in Norwalk, CT. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt, the show is a celebration of Irish history and culture, featuring traditional folk ballads, show tunes, and contemporary hits.
Directed by Kevin Connors, this production features a versatile cast of five performers who sing, dance, and play various musical instruments. The show uses a blend of storytelling and music to trace the Irish experience from the 1845 Potato Famine through their journey to America and into the present day. Notable musical numbers include "Danny Boy," "The Irish Washerwoman," and songs by George M. Cohan and U2.
For a complete Irish experience, you might visit O'Neill's Irish Pub & Restaurant in South Norwalk, which offers classic fare like Shepherd's Pie and a lively atmosphere.
