Few performers making their Broadway debuts get a street on Broadway renamed in their honor. Michael Flatley is an exception.

The trailblazing former Riverdance' star was on hand Tuesday when a section of 42nd Street was dubbed "Flatley Way" in honor of him and his show Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games, opening nearby at the Lyric Theater.

"It's fantastic. It's a dream come true," he says on a rainy afternoon with the cheering support of his two dozen cast members in bright costumes. The renaming ceremony lasted only a few minutes, but the dapper Flatley seemed as jazzed about it as he does stepping on the 1,896-seat Lyric.
