Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre manager Linda Christoff said there are still availabilities for the matinee show however they are selling fast.
A Taste of Ireland explores generations of Irish storytelling and culture through old traditional Irish music and dance.
A Taste of Ireland producer, director and dancer Brent Pace said although it is a celebration of Irish culture, it is an event for everyone to enjoy.
"I think we've all got a little bit of Irish in us," Pace said.
The crew of performers themselves actually come from various backgrounds.
"Some of [our dancers] are American, Aussie and we've got a few Irish lads as well," Pace said.
A Taste of Ireland will have you laugh, cry and jig into the night with dancers from the West End's Lord of the Dance, Riverdance and Gaelforce Dance, taking to the stage bearing all new sets,costumes, tunes and effects.
The show will feature classics from Danny Boy to Tell Me Ma, through a live, energetic blend of acapella tap battles, dancing, melodic folk music mash-ups and craic galore transports you through the story of Ireland's tumultuous history.
The opening show kicked off on St Patrick's Day, March 17, a cultural celebration marking the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
The performers will do 'around' 90 shows across Australia in total, performing right up until mid-july.
Last season A Taste of Ireland performed 150 shows around the country and more than 2,000 world wide.
Despite the busy schedule the crew said they were ready to get back into gear and couldn't wait to perform following the hardships the entertainment realm faced last year due to COVID-19.
Although the 7.30 pm show has now completely sold out for Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre, there are still tickets available for the additional 4 pm matinee show.
Both shows will run this Saturday, March 27th.
