About
Riverdance, as you've never seen it before! A powerful and stirring reinvention of this beloved favorite, celebrated the world over for its Grammy award-winning score and the thrilling energy and passion of its Irish and international dance. Twenty-five years on, composer Bill Whelan has rerecorded his mesmerizing soundtrack while producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan have completely reimagined the ground-breaking show with innovative and spectacular lighting, projection, stage and costume designs. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary power and grace of its music and dance–beloved by fans of all ages. Fall in love with the magic of Riverdance all over again.
For over 25 years, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance.
Riverdance began its journey as the interval act in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, produced for television by Moya Doherty. This electrifying and innovative seven minute dance piece was then developed into a full-length stage show by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan. With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin in early 1995. When the show transferred to London the reaction was unprecedented. There followed a hugely successful tour starting in New York in March 1996, where 8 sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall heralded the start of two decades of touring by Riverdance companies throughout North America. Since its inception Riverdance has packed theatres throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and South America.

by warrior on 2/17/20Cadillac Palace - ChicagoI was impressed with the energy of the dancers and dances. I loved the introduction of ethnic diversity with the tap dancers - flamingo dancer - Russian dancers. The blend showed different styles, yet the same sound. I enjoyed the dance off between the Riverdance guys and the tap dance guys.

by PrairieLady on 2/12/20Cadillac Palace - ChicagoThe 25th anniversary show was just as wonderful as the first! You may not know these kids as well but they are first rate performers! Wish the venue would have let us in earlier due to the weather. Also, the merchandise sales should have had a couple of different spots for selling. As it was, the selling counter was in the flow of those coming in and going out.
