What to know about Riverdance

Riverdance, which exploded onto the scene with a now legendary performance at the 1994 Eurovision contest, is a two hour and 15 minute show with a single intermission.

The most modern iteration of Bill Whelan and Michael Flatley’s show — now over 15,000 performances strong since its inception — includes new visual and audio effects.

“Veteran Riverdance followers will appreciate the quite amazing 3D animated backdrops that give each scene new perspective—a realistic babbling brook or a haunting moonlit night,” according to the Maryland Theatre Guide .

And each show doesn’t just pay homage to Irish culture. There’s also Russian, flamenco, and NYC street dance thrown in for good measure.

Riverdance at Radio City Music Hall

Riverdance tickets:, “riverdance is as much a phenomenon as a show.” – new york post, “a riverdance to love exciting hypnotic thrilling” – the globe and mail.

The story of RIVERDANCE is the story of Ireland itself, beginning with the fiery creation of the world, “Our ancestors knew fear and joy and fire, worked wood and stone and water to make a place they could call home.” Followed by the primal forces of Ireland as a land, the rivers, the life. Moving straight into the people of Ireland and The Countess Cathleen, sensual, nurturing, independent and fierce, the power of women as they celebrate themselves, as they challenge men in a dance of empowerment. We have a break in the dance as a lone piper mourns Cú Chulainn, the implacable Bronze Age warrior, the great hero of Celtic myth. Then the myth of Mad Sweeney, Suibhne or Shivna, who has haunted Ireland since medieval times. Driven by forces inside himself, outside himself, a man dances desperately in the power of the moon. The powers are cruel and arbitrary, female and savage. But war, famine and slavery shattered the ancient bonds between people and place and from the mid-19th century, hunger and famine and ambition drove the Irish out of their home island, across the Atlantic to a New World. Lover parted from lover, families and communities were torn apart. The music and dance that forged a sense of identity are now exposed to new and unfamiliar cultures. From the darkness a lone voice sings and is then joined by other immigrants, reflecting the universal yearning of the dispossessed wherever they make their home. The wealth of the poor is in song, dance and story. Under the street lamps in the new cities, the dancers perform with pride in their heritage, curious to see what other traditions bring, struggling to bridge the gap between old dreams and new realities. And then something new – a tune from another place, another lifetime, which can turn and haunt the heart and inspire the dances from a distant homeland. The Irish meet the Russians and finally also the South American peoples, in the cauldron of the big city, the pulsing energy of the streets is reflected in the fiery Latin dance rhythms.

Ultimately the story of RIVERDANCE is one of homecoming, the river flows full circle from sea to sky to mountain and back home. Collecting, gathering, arriving enriched, fulfilled, ready to start its journey once more. Always the child of the emigrant feels the tug of the home place; always that child feels the urge to return. What she or he brings there is a sustaining knowledge: we are who we once were, we are who we have become. With newfound confidence and pride, the child of the emigrant carries treasured memories home to their birthplace. A long journey ends under a native sky, a new and richer journey has taken its place. We are one kind. We are one people now, our voices blended, our music a great world in which we can feel everywhere at home. Ní neart go chur le chéile, together we are strong.

First performed as an interval act for the 1994 Eurovision song contest featuring Irish dancing champions Jean Butler and Michael Flatley, With a score composed by Bill Whelan and husband and wife production team Moya Doherty and John McColgan they developed RIVERDANCE into a stage show that became a global phenomenon, touring for twenty-five years and performing live to an audience of over 27.5 million people. The song “RIVERDANCE” was released as a single featuring Anúna and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and entered the Irish Singles Chart at No. 1 and the show finally opened in Dublin to a sold out five week show in 1995. By April 1995, video release of RIVERDANCE went straight to No. 1 in the Irish charts and by June 1995, UK video release of RIVERDANCE went straight to the No. 2 position in the UK charts, moving to No. 1 the following week. Then over the Irish sea and into London on the 3rd of October, RIVERDANCE opened for another six-week sell-out run at The Apollo. By overwhelming public demand, the run was extended twice, making a box office record of 151 sold out shows at the venue. Finally, like in the story RIVERDANCE travelled to the United States for the first time in March 1996 and on 13 March, the show opened at the legendary Radio City Music Hall for the first of eight sold-out performances over five days. After that the show toured almost continuously between the USA, Canada, UK and Ireland until the opening of the special Olympics in 2003. Since then, the show has been down scaled to a smaller cast and ensemble in order to tour the world, playing smaller venues than before. On 21 July 2013, a record was set when a line of 1,693 dancers from 44 countries danced to RIVERDANCE on a bridge overlooking the River Liffey, led by Jean Butler and Padraic Moyles. The show is approximately 2 hours long, including interval.

“RIVERDANCE is back, ready to pump your spirits with high-stepping, quicksilver dancing, set your feet tapping with infectious rhythms and maybe even prompt a gentle tear with the soulful laments of uilleann pipes in Bill Whelan’s familiar score.” – Michael Crabb Reviewing The 20th Anniversary Show Tour, The Star. Canada.

“RIVERDANCE is the No. 1 dance show of the world” – SHENZHEN DAILY

“delightful energetic sexy” – toronto star, “the show is quite simply incredible” – the washington times.

The critically acclaimed 25th Anniversary North American Tour was shut down in March 2020 during a sold-out return engagement to New York City's Radio City Music Hall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Riverdance celebrated a return to the stage in the United Kingdom, where the iconic show played to sold out audiences in 27 cities across the country. Then followed its debut at Expo 2020 Dubai with a special production of Riverdance presenting a multi-cultural experience including artists from the Middle East region.

Riverdance The Animated Adventure was released on Netflix in the United States on January 14, 2022, where it swiftly landed a spot on the streamer's Global Top 10 list. With an original score by Grammy Award-winning composer Bill Whelan, the animated musical comedy features the incredible craft and skill of the Riverdance troupe by utilizing motion capture of their performances to create the animated dancing in the film. Tour lead dancers Maggie Darlington and Anna Mai Fitzpatrick and Executive Producer/Director Padraic Moyles were involved with the dance production for the film, while tour musicians Mark Alfred and Tara Howley play on the film score.

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.
