WHERE EAGLES FLY - The Musical

New Irish Musical! Direct From Ireland! National Premiere in September, 2024!

Where Eagles Fly The Musical is an Irish American musical that tells the story of courage and humanity, set against a backdrop of momentous historical events. It is a story of exile, emigration and courage to leave loved ones behind, searching for a better place.

Set against the backdrop of centuries old Ireland, this lavish production traces a history back over 400 years and 3,000 miles to tell the story of a proud people, brought to their knees by starvation, strife, persecution, and poverty. But, like all oppressed nations, they will not be bowed or beaten and will triumph against adversity in the end. The journey is seen through the eyes of several generations of emigrants from Ireland; one of those being Andrew Jackson, who became the 7th President of the United States.

Where Eagles Fly features an International cast of multi-talented performers. With state of the art staging, some 300 costumes, imaginative visuals, memorable songs, dance and music, this production is above all a great story that audiences will never forget. It’s the journey of hope and promise that stirs in us all, as told through Irish eyes.

Composed by John Anderson and features Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones, Derry Girls) as the Narrator, WHERE EAGLES FLY The Musical is a joyous celebration of the human spirit.

"Lush and gorgeous as to raise the hair on your arms. This is not a juke-box collection of well-known Irish songs, but songs that are equally hummable, bringing wonderful contemporary Irish sounds together with highly accessible music"
