Is this latest tour up to the task of carrying on a beloved Disney musical? As directed by Matt West, yes, it is.

In a panel discussion at Chicago’s National Hellenic Museum, cast members share what’s on their minds as they tell the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.

The touring musical based on the 2001 Baz Luhrmann movie travels with about 500 costumes in all. “It’s got to be glittery.”

About 30 participants of varying skill levels took part in the class at the Irish American Heritage Center on Monday. A “Riverdance” touring show will be back in April.
