Riverdance Tickets Information

Riverdance
Riverdance is a popular theatrical show involving traditional Irish step dancing. In this unique step dancing, body and arms are kept largely stationary with rapid leg movements.

The first performance of Riverdance was seen during the interval of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest on April 30. The tickets for the first full-length show of Riverdance were sold in November 1994. The show was opened at the Point Theatre on February 9, 1995. Irish Dancing Champion Jean Butler and Michael Flatley were included in the cast. The show proved to be a huge success. It ran for five weeks and was a sell-out.

Riverdance has become popular worldwide. It continues to be performed all over the world. Many performing companies from different parts of the world are producing the Riverdance show. Each production company is named after an Irish river. The Boyne (touring in North America), Avoca and Foyle (in Europe) are the leading current performing companies. The original performances were quite long. However, the current productions are half the size of the original performances.

The concept of 'Riverdance' is both simple and ingenious. A load of Irish music and a lot of Irish dancing is produced with a Celtic-looking rock-like setting with highly colored projections to vary the look. The huge popular success of the show derives in part from Moya Doherty's canny producing and John McColgan's swift, deft staging, which works like a computer. It manages to spread an unexpected impression of homespun charm over-riding, or perhaps over-dancing. Its awe-inspiring efficiency, and its sweet and sure ability to deliver on every promise, implicit and explicit, suggested by the very idea of an Irish dance spectacular.

A person should go to enjoy 'Riverdance' primarily for the Irish dancing, and for Bill Whelan's wonderful score and the Irish musicians - who are indeed always splendid. Yet, there could well have been a snag here. The problem is that it is difficult to create and maintain a lively choreographic form out of Irish step dancing, which has a limited vocabulary, rigid arms, a stiff upper-body and an overall tendency towards exuberance rather than emotion.

The year before its shattering entry into New York's Radio City Music Hall, I got an opportunity of seeing 'Riverdance' in London for the first time. I enjoyed it something fresh and new, and something moreover that America would take to its heart. Given the Irish ethnic heritage rooted in the United States from sea to shining sea,It was a natural. At the first Radio City welcome, It was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the audience.
