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. A highlight of the four-week run was the Riverdance performance
at the USA Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai for their Thanksgiving Day celebrations.
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. When the
show transferred to London the reaction was unprecedented. There followed a hugely successful tour starting in New
York in March 1996, where 8 sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall heralded the start of more than two decades of
touring by Riverdance companies throughout North America.
Since its inception, Riverdance has packed theatres
throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and South America.
Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show has been designed by lead designer Peter Canning, featuring Set by Alan Farquharson,
Lighting by Andrew Voller and Video by Cosmo AV along with Costumes by Joan Bergin and Sound by Michael O’Gorman.
