It's not often you come out of the theatre having hit your cardio workout target for the day but Ceilidh is a musical like no other! 

Currently at the Shoreditch Town Hall, Ceilidh brings a beautiful Scottish tradition of a community dance to life with some beautifully poignant storytelling alongside it, it's not your usual night out at the theatre, in fact it's a whole lot better! As soon as you enter the venue you realise this is going to be something special, cast mingle around with audience members, then gather to play some tunes in the centre of what will become the dancefloor as people take their seats. 

We're introduced to Ramsey who will be our caller and narrator of the evening. He wonderfully leads our feet in the dances and our hearts in the storytelling.  Written by Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie, the story follows Ramsay (Gilmour himself), as he teaches us the history of Ceilidh dancing and the lore that has been passed generation to generation. The main themes are love, friendship, acceptance and belonging and you walk away feeling like you truly were part of something.
