Soldier Field

Soldier Field tells the story of four Ireland players and eight of their fans as they make their way to Chicago with history in mind. Ireland are set to play the world champion All Blacks, a side they have not beaten in 28 matches, stretched over 109 years.

The players and fans have all been left reeling by the death of Munster and Ireland legend, Anthony ‘Axel’ Foley, only four weeks before. Faced with a daunting foe and odds stacked against them, the players and fans must come together to pay a fitting tribute to one of their own.

Soldier Field was first staged at The Mill Theatre in Dublin, in 2019, before returning to the stage (at The Moat and Lime Tree theatres) for well-received and sold-out performances.

Essentially Cher

Since her explosive debut in 2019, Trisha's whirlwind journey across the globe, from performing all over Europe and even as far as the USA, is a testament to her astonishing Cher likeness. From her physical resemblance to the iconic contralto voice, she delivers an unparalleled show, solidifying her as a tribute industry leader.

Trisha, backed by her talented 6-piece live band, is now firmly conquering the UK and Ireland, delighting Cher fans everywhere. As she steps onstage in her black leatherjacket, cascading curls, and sequined catsuit, she effortlessly channels America’s pop/rock icon. Trisha's portrayal, from movements to witty banter, is so precise that audiences often mistake her for the real Cher.

Performing Cher's hits from the '60s (I Got You Babe) to the '80s (Turn Back Time, I Found Someone), journeying into the well-known 90's dance tracks (Believe, Strong Enough) and even paying homage to her recent Abba cover album, Dancing Queen, this is a show that Cher-ly leaves you craving more!
