Emerald Storm review – a lively, feel-good show that revels in its own unapologetic excess.
In a nod to reality TV, this Irish dance and tap hybrid is an exercise in maximum entertainment, with singer Tom Ball, Britain's Got Talent finalist, and tap dancer Bayley Graham of America's Got Talent leading the pack. Joined by a talented ensemble, including Olivia Graydon and Hayden Woodcock, they set out to recreate the viral hits that dominated our feeds.
As we enter the world of Emerald Storm, it becomes clear that this is a show that revels in its own over-the-top energy – like being on a cruise ship, where the entertainment never stops. With cameras rolling and phones welcome, every number feels like a 30-second clip come to life, with Bayley Graham delivering a mesmerizing tap routine that's equal parts loose-limbed charm and showmanship.
While some seats offer a slightly obstructed view of the performers' feet due to the footlights, this minor quibble can't detract from the sheer joy on display. The company is having the time of their lives, and it's infectious – even the most jaded viewer will find themselves caught up in the whirlwind energy of Emerald Storm.
The show isn't afraid to lean into its cheesiness (it's a Wicklow cheddar, after all), but there's a genuine warmth behind the proceedings that makes it hard not to get swept up in the fun. Ball ramps up the hits with confidence, including Beyoncé's Halo in a style that feels like a Bublé-esque treat.
Emerald Storm may be overblown at times, but its infectious enthusiasm and talented cast make it a wildly enjoyable ride – the perfect antidote for a night out on the town.

They're right, the show is like being on a cruise ship where the entertainment never stops! 
I mean, who wouldn't want to watch some talented dancers and singers perform viral hits all night long? 
The reviewer's point about the energy of the performers is so true - it's like they're having the time of their lives up there on stage! 
And yeah, maybe the footlights can be a bit obstructed at times, but honestly, it's not worth taking away from the fun. I loved how the reviewer mentioned that despite being cheesy at times, there's genuine warmth behind the show. It's all about embracing the excess and having a good time, you know? 
! I mean, who needs subtlety when you can just go big or go home? 
. I was a bit skeptical at first, but once the music started pumping and everyone got into it, I was dancing in my seat 
, but honestly, you're there for the entertainment value, right? So go with the flow and enjoy the ride!
. It's like they're not trying too hard, just letting loose and having a blast. And honestly, that's infectious 
! It makes you realize that sometimes, it's okay to let go of your inhibitions and just enjoy the ride 
. Life's too short to take ourselves too seriously, right? 
. A few minor quibbles aside (minor obstructed view probs), this show is pure JOY.
I mean what's not to love? The energy is electric, Bayley Graham's tap skills are insane 
. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned feel-good show? Even if some of the seats are a little cramped, I say bring on the camera crew and the phone-toting audience - it adds to the party vibe! 
and that tap dancer bayley graham tho she's so cool 
but yeah, maybe some seats had a bad view lol 
anyway, def gonna look out for this show again!
, you know? They used to have these over-the-top performances that were just so much fun to watch. And I love how they're embracing their cheesiness 
, it's like a guilty pleasure! The fact that Tom Ball is a Brits Got Talent finalist is interesting too, reminds me of the good old days when talent shows weren't as formulaic 
. What really stood out to me though, was how down-to-earth the performers were despite being total pros. I loved how they didn't take themselves too seriously and just let loose on stage 
Overall, it's a feel-good show that'll put a smile on your face and get you moving to the beat 
. Either way, it's fun to watch, but I wonder if this is what passes for "entertainment" when we need some real substance on TV?
Bayley's tap skills are insane lololol u gotta check out those 2-min moves 
minor quibble but didnt ruin the vibe at all!!!

The energy is so contagious, you can't help but tap your feet along with Bayley Graham's epic tap routine 
. It's not always high art, but who cares? This show is the perfect antidote for a night out, all about letting loose and having a blast 
, have you seen those pics of climate change protests around the world? So many young people marching and advocating for change, only to be met with resistance and skepticism from some politicians... still, at least this Emerald Storm show is fun, right? 
. Anyway, if you're looking for something to liven up your night out, Emerald Storm's definitely worth checking out
