The show started out with just one troupe until November 1997 when Troupe 2 was formed, then in 1993 a Las Vegas troupe was formed and peformed for 4 years and then went on tour of Canada only to return to Las Vegas for another 3 year tour in November 2002 which ran until April 30th 2004. Since Flatley has left the show, it has suffered, leading to mediocre reviews and uneven ticket sales. However this did not stop the formation of a Fourth Troupe in 2004. A more advanced version of the show, called Feet of Flames debuted at Hyde Park on July 25th 1998.
