SUMMARY:Celebrating Christie Hennessy The Platinum Collection Tour
DESCRIPTION:\nWith Aonghus McAnally & His Musicians\nAfter a hugely successful tour in 2016\, that included two sold-out shows at The National Concert Hall in Dublin\, the renowned entertainer and RTÉ personality Aonghus McAnally takes his “Celebrating Christie Hennessy – The Platinum Collection” show back on the road for an extended run this autumn. The show recreates the iconic sound of his close friend and is a touching tribute to one of Ireland’s greatest ever singer-songwriters\, Christie Hennessy.\n\nChristie delighted audiences at home and abroad until his tragic and untimely death in 2007\, aged just 62. In this all-new show\, celebrated entertainer Aonghus McAnally brings the Hennessy songbook to life with his uncanny recreation of his close friend Christie’s voice and guitar playing. Featuring all his best loved hits – Messenger Boy\, Jealous Heart\, Don’t Forget Your Shovel\, If You Were To Fall\, All The Lies That You Told Me\, and the iconic Roll Back The Clouds – this magical evening showcases the storytelling brilliance of Christie Hennessy with 22 of his greatest songs.\nInhabiting the role of Christie is particularly poignant for Aonghus as the two were such close friends – Aonghus even delivered the eulogy at Christie’s funeral. Speaking about the show\, Aonghus said\, “It’s a genuine privilege to share Christie’s incredible music with audiences around the country\, and an honour to be part of keeping his spirit alive. Music fans want one more Christie gig\, and to be able to recreate that magic for them is one of the most special feelings I’ve ever had on stage. Having played Christie before\, maybe the greatest compliment I’ve ever received as a performer was when Christie’s wife Gill came to me after the show in tears\, saying it’s like having Christie back again.” Celebrating Christie Hennessy: The Platinum Collection tours Ireland from October.\nBook Now\n

The spectacular\, multi record-breaking and critically acclaimed touring production will return for a strictly limited 7 week run from 17 July to September 1 2018. \n\nThis will be Irish theatregoers’ second chance to experience a true modern classic and one of the most successful productions in Bord Gáis Energy Theatre’s history. WICKED was previously seen by over 130\,000 people during its celebrated Irish premiere engagement in 2013. \n\nAcclaimed as “a joyous spectacle that captures the imagination” (Irish Independent) and “a magical mystery tour through the fantasyland of Oz” (London Evening Standard)\, WICKED tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two sorcery students and their extraordinary adventures in Oz\, which will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. Based on the acclaimed\, best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that ingeniously re-imagines the stories and characters originally created by L.
