To describe Riverdance, I would need more superlatives than I have ever known. Anyone who has read some of my other columns knows that I am a serious tap dance aficionado, and tonight at Riverdance, I was in tap heaven!!
The lighting, the superb musicians, the costumes, the singing, and, YES, the DANCING(!) are more than enough to make me a happy person! In fact, anyone who does not smile while watching tap dancing has to be from another planet!!
And it’s not all clogging, but different types of tap....from street to Cossack to tango.....wonderful! Very impressive, a show to see time and time again.
Take your family, show them what talents can be seen on a stage, not a phone screen!
The international Irish dance phenomenon is back by popular demand in Riverdance - The 20th Anniversary World Tour. Drawing on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish dancing and music into the present day, capturing the imagination of audiences across all ages and cultures in an innovative and exciting blend of dance, music and song. Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland - in rock, music, theatre and film - nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance.
Riverdance - The 20th Anniversary World Tour is composed by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan, and comes directly to North America from a sold-out run across Europe and Asia.
