Riverdance announces its 30th Anniversary celebrations.
Since Riverdance first emerged onto the world stage, its fusion of Irish and international dance and music has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. The Grammy award-winning music and the infectious energy of its mesmerising choreography and breathtaking performances has left audiences in awe and established Riverdance as a global cultural sensation.
To celebrate this incredible 30th year milestone, Riverdance will embark on a special anniversary tour, bringing its magic to audiences around the world. This spectacular production rejuvenates the much-loved original show with new innovative choreography, costumes and state of the art lighting, projection and motion graphics. And for the first time Riverdance welcomes "The New Generation" of performers, all of whom were not born when show began 30 years ago.
John McColgan, Director of Riverdance said "It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on. In those 30 years the show has transformed from a spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon - continuously evolving yet remaining true to its Irish roots. On this upcoming tour we look forward to welcoming 'The New Generation' of artists while paying tribute to the talented performers, creators, dedicated crew, and the millions of fans who have made Riverdance a worldwide celebration of music and dance."
Audiences will enjoy a unique and memorable performance which blends the traditional and the contemporary, showcasing the skill and passion of the world-class of dancers, musicians and singers in the Riverdance ensemble.
Composed by Bill Whelan. Produced by Moya Doherty. Directed by John McColgan.
From beginning to end it was non-stop entertainment. The music was beautiful and the dancing takes your breath away.
The music and the dancing- step & tap from different cultures, signing was wonderful too- the cast did a great job and we all enjoyed it tremendously (ages 11-78 in our group).
As always Riverdance is a high energy fantastic dance and music show, filled to the top with incredible talent, well worth attending IMO.
Went to the show on Saturday afternoon and it was absolutely amazing!! Not one dull moment, everything was just perfection. Fantastic dancing(of course). Female soloist voice was magical, so hauntingly beautiful. The two gentlemen tap dancers were great(was not expecting to have some laughs but did).The musicians and singers were all very good. This was just a perfect show and would highly recommend seeing it if you get the chance.
Great Show that seemed to be enjoyed by everyone in audience.
such talent! Every scene was captivating and it was over in what felt like 10 min instead of 2 hours. Amazing show, great music and a must see!
Show was not as good as in the past. Not enough dancing and too much singing
RIVERDANCE WAS EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR - & MORE !! MOVING, THRILLING- SO VERY ENJOYABLE - Talent galore energy unlimited enthusiasm unmistakeable... you have got to seat!! if you like Irish Dance!!
Exhilarating! Amazing! Audience was memarized for the entire performance. Wished they let us take pictures of the cast at the very end of the show.
It was everything I expected and more! It was such a great experience to share with my young children. They loved it and were even up dancing and clapping! The dancers were amazing and kept offering more and more!
The performers timing as well as the live band's timing was bang on. If youre not a human metronome clapping you hands to the beat during this show, youre dead inside. Very happy i went to see this show.
Took the whole family including the Grandparents. Everyone totally enjoyed the show and would go see it again in a heartbeat.
Dancers and musicians were amazing! My seats were great. I am not sure why, but my eyes were a little irritated from the fog, but still loved the show.
Riverdance was exceptional! Everything about the production was top rate, and personal. I liked that some of the performers where in the lobby when we arrived to offer the companies products. I enjoyed speaking with the young lady, very bright and personable. The talent of all on stage was exemplary. From the lighting and back drops to the musicians. Cannot say enough about the talent of the dancers, so very entertaining and you could tell they enjoyed their time on stage as much as we the audience enjoyed them being on stage. Had most of us in the audience ooohing and aaaawing, clapping, tapping our toes and being engaged in the entire show. The intimacy that the Burton Cummings Theatre makes productions such as this, a trully personal experience. I so enjoy having leg room, and an amazingly comfortable chair, with elbow room as well. Wish more of the event seating in the city was like this, it just adds 10 fold to the overall experience. The theatre is showing a certain amount of wear 'n tear, but it is still a lovely place to be entertained. Only wrinkle in the evening was the parkade, as it only had 2 kiosks open for departure and it only took coin, if you gave a bill it was not able to give you change. It created a true bottle neck. Since the fee was only $4.00 why not set up the Event Parking as in other locations, so people can pre-pay and then leave in a non-congested manner at the end of the show.
Riverdance 20th anniversary was absolutely FANTASTIC! The passion the dancers had for their craft was palpable! I was absolutely enthralled for their entire concert, my eyes darted from their fancy footwork to the choreography, to their costumes! Just a blast! I am so happy I got to experience this phenomena!
The precision and unison of these dancers was amazing! I was expecting more Celtic dancing though so a bit disappointed in that a I really enjoyed what there was. The other styles of dance were impressive also. Was interested how they related the different styles.
An excellent performance - I would recommend this performance very highly. Good value for the ticket price.
The group really interacted with the audience . Kept me entertained the whole show !
We were not impressed. It was nothing like the original. Lower your expectations as it was not all that great
I have seen Riverdance each time it has come to town and this occasion did not disappoint. The same passion, skill and showmanship thrives in these talented dancers and musicians. The show has not changed much from the first time I saw it, they have kept the best elements and continue to tune each performance for the audience's satisfaction. I hope they come again soon.
