'Riverdance, 25th Anniversary Show' On At Dublin's 3Arena
It has been 25 years since Riverdance took the world by storm and they are celebrating by staging a massive celebration at 3 Arena, exactly 25 years to the day that the show first hit the stage at The Point Theatre.
On the 9th February 1995, Riverdance the Show premiered at The Point Theatre Dublin. The 7 minute Eurovision interval act performance which had wowed TV audiences across the world had become a full length stage show and from there set out on a journey that would see it tour the globe and achieve worldwide acclaim. To date Riverdance has been performed over 12,160 times and has been seen live by over 27.5 million people in 546 venues worldwide.
On 9th February 2020, there will be a special gala evening performance, which will be filmed, back where it all began, at 3Arena Dublin.
Riverdance - 25th Anniversary Show is a powerful and stirring reinvention of this beloved family favourite, celebrated the world over for its Grammy Award-winning music and the thrilling energy and passion of its Irish and international dance.
Now it is coming home to celebrate another milestone on that journey with five performances from 6-9 February at 3Arena Dublin including a special Gala show on 9th.
Twenty-five years on, composer Bill Whelan has rerecorded his mesmerising soundtrack while producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan have completely reimagined the ground-breaking show with innovative and spectacular lighting, projection and stage designs with new costume designs by Joan Bergin.
The 25th Anniversary show catapults Riverdance into the 21st century and will completely immerse audiences in the extraordinary and elemental power of its music and dance.
The cast for this tour will feature, for the first time, many dancers and musicians who were not even born in the year that the show first opened; 1995 at the Point Theatre.
Twenty-five years on, both new and devoted fans of all ages will once again fall in love with the magic of Riverdance – the original, and still the best.
