About

Riverdance

The greatest celebration of Irish music, song and dance touring New Zealand for the last time.

For the first time in nine years the pounding feet and swirling music of Riverdance, which has tapped its way onto the world stage thrilling millions of people around the globe, will tour to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch from May 2012.

With music and lyrics by Grammy Award winning Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan, Riverdance is the development of an original idea by Moya Doherty, which was initially performed at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Dublin in April 1994 as a seven-minute interval act. Its success has since become part of theatre history.

Each of the touring companies consists of 45 cast and crew members, with the remarkable Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe joined by the cream of Irish musicians in the Riverdance Band and a spectacular array of talent from around the globe.
