I saw Riverdance last night (December 2) in San Diego. It was amazing! The production was awesome and the dancers were absolutely exhilarating. I especially liked the flamenco dancer- her hair piece fell off near the end of the performance and she didn't miss a step and the male dancer on stage with her swooped by and picked it up with such subtlety that one might have barely noticed. All the dancers were amazing and so beautiful. GO SEE THIS IF YOU CAN WE WERE IN ROW Z ($25) and could see eveything. Be careful of the steps though, a lady fell right on her butt (an audience member not a dancer) because the stairs were only marked with reflective white every other step and in the dark I think she thought each was one. Anyway SUCH A BLAST!!!

3rd time seeing Riverdance during it's continuing lifetime. Though a bit smaller than other performances I've attended, the troop was shining in Sacramento, CA. The energy, dancing and music were all as I remember from previous performances and the performances were as great as any show. Don't miss this tour - I'll keep going as long as the show is around!

I saw Riverdance at the Saroyan Theater in Fresno, CA (Nov. 2nd) with my mom, and we were both blown away! The whole experience was so wonderful and surreal, the whole place was filled with the dancing, singing and instrumental talents that performed on the stage. It was an amazing time for my mom and I to remember our Irish roots, and it's still sticking with me. Bravo, one and all!

I first saw Riverdance when I was eleven... it changed my life. I wanted nothing but to be an Irish dancer. Although it took me three years to convince my parents to let me take Irish dancing lessons, at the age of fourteen, I won the battle and signed up for lessons at a local school. Being an Irish dancer is one of the most amazing things that's ever happened to me. It's changed my life for the better in so many ways. I dream of being a Riverdance cast member some day, even though I started dancing later than most. I owe so much to the Irish dancers and creatives of Riverdance. If you only see one stage show in your whole life, it should be Riverdance. xxxxxxx

Riverdance was the MOST awesome entertainment I had the opportunity to witness in a VERY long time. I would go back again and again to enjoy such an evening. Jackie W, Victoria, BC

I love Riverdance as I am from Belfast myself. I liked the dancers but the set was that of a high school presentation. I think the sun was actually and enlarged orange. It was not up to a standard that reflects the quality of dancers. The Spanish dancer wasn't that interesting and the girls came out in red costumes that looked like santas helpers. I saw Riverdance years ago and was so excited to see it again. I am not sure I would go back unless them improved the set and added some new costumes. I would not do the Spanish dancer as it doesn't match with Riverdance. The dancers are amazing and deserve better sets that is all. Elaine form Belfast

Just saw the show last night in North Dakota. Absolutely breathtaking. It was amazing ... the songs, the dances, the atmosphere they created was stunning. My fiance and I even got a little choked up during some of the performances. Absolutely fantastic. A memory I will cherish forever. There was even a time in one of the group dances one of the dancers fell ... it didn't even phase him ... he got right back up and continued on and the performance was fantastic! If you haven't seen Riverdance you should really go to a show. It will take your breath away.

BRING BACK THE OLD ONE!! I would pay to see ithe old one every year (and I did) but I won't go to this one again. Way to many musical numbers. Why would you put Irish dancers in a long skirt?? The point is to see their legs. Flamingo dancer, huh? There were a few high points but it just doesn't begin to compare to the old one.

I saw the Riverdance that was performed in Beijing China and thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! The dance and the music were excellent and I especially liked the way other styles were integrated into the performance; a true masterpiece of chorography and musical production. I especially appreciated the singing of: Kevin Horton and Brioni Gallagher; the dancing of Yolanda Gonzalez Sobrado and the Moscow folk ballet company. Also, the music of Aoife Ni Bhriain and Matt Bashford and not forgetting the guy on the drums! My favourite section is the dancing routine about 56 minutes into the performance with Kevin's singing and Aislinn Ryan's dancing!

We went to see Riverdance in the Rapid City, SD civic center. While the show was about what I expected for the money, the big minus for me was the civic center itself. The seats are too small and the crowd is packed in like sardines. The seats are all wood, no cushioning whatever. Otherwise, the show was a nice change from the usual.

The performance was nothing like the one I seen on TV a few years ago. Not enough dancing, too much singing and fiddle playing. The dancers were great, just not enough of them. I would not spend my money on another Riverdance peformance like the one I seen last night. I even bought a CD, which I hope is better then the live show I sat thru last night

My daughter and I went to see Riverdance on Saturday, May 7th here in Saskatoon. True it was an abreviated cast due to to the size of the stage, but the magic, the sound, the rhythm....it was all there. The first drum beat sounded, and my feet were tapping right along with the dancers, as were those of quite a few others, along with clapping. it was fantastic! My daughter and I would like to thank the cast and crew for such a wonderful time! It seemed to end too soon. I have several tpes/DVDs of your performances, and each one is an individual pleasure. Thank you for making them available. As for those people who were disappointed, Riverdance isn't just a show, it's a story told in narration, song and dance. It has never lost it's magic for me over the past 14 years!

I went to see Riverdance in Edmonton last night and left at the intermission. I expected the show to be similar to Riverdance on TV i.e. lots of group dancing in a line, loud, fast, rhythmic 'hard shoe' numbers. I was incredibly disappointed with what I saw in person. The entire show looked like it had come from 1994 - the very sparse set design (bad 90s talk show backdrop with little feeling), having to watch the musicians on stage (whyy???) compete with attention for the dancers and the horrible costumes (90s velour figure skating outfits). Overall, this show lacked polish and stagemanship. It also lacked dancing. Of the 9 routines I watched, 3 were singing only, and 1 more was only musicians. The whole feel of the show is unbudget and 90s... not high energy, glitzy, or 'Broadway'-quality. I was embarassed I had brought a guest to see the event!

Maybe I was tainted by the performance of Riverdance I saw 10 years ago. I expected the same show otherwise why wouldn't they change the name of the dance or give it an additional sub title like they do with different shows of Cirque du Soleil? This performance was no where near as good as the Riverdance I saw 10 years ago - although each performer was good at what they did, and there were parts that were fantastic it was overall in comparison disappointing.

Weird to see in a review that someone was disappointed that Michael wasn't in it. Interesting. Perhaps a little breeze around the internet might help understand why. Interesting show - not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination. The singing and the Gaelic music was excellent. It sounded great to here the ethereal sounds of the pipes over here. The Flamenco was awesome - she really portrayed a very sultry dancer. The action/response of the Irish dancers vs the the Tappers was the highlight for me - brilliant dancing and a lot of humour. The audience were all laughing. The line dancing was quite good but the stage is really small so they were a bit squashed. I also felt they added the sound of taps & steps to the routine to make it appear louder esp. the male lead. He seemed out of step with the music like a bad lip-syncher. Finally, the baritone was an excellent tap dancer but a pretty poor singer - great in the power but pretty poor in the lower more gentle singing. Overall very good - worth the entrance fee

My daughter and I went to see Riverdance for the first time in Calgary, Alberta. To be honest, when we purchased the tickets we thought it was going to be a lot of group dancing, something like what we saw years back on television. That is what we went to see. There was too much singing and too much one - on - one dancing. Too much solo fluting and violin. Riverdance to me is a group of talented people dancing together and showing their precise movements that are so exact and on time to foot tapping celtic sound. Sorry, but we were both disappointed in the show. Would think twice about seeing it again.

I've wanted to see Riverdance for 16 years, there was no way they could dissapoint when I saw it in Lethbridge on April 16, 2011, and they didn't! It was a thrill to see the dances live and to see the interactions between the dancers and the dancers and the crowd. I also liked the way the musicians, like fiddler Patrick Mangan, interacted with the crowd. It was so easy to just get lost in the dance and the music, that before you knew it it was over. I would only want it to be longer :D

Just saw the show in Cranbrook, B.C. - third time for me, second for my daughter, and first time for my husband and 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. We were enchanted and delighted beyond words. It's the best performance of the three I've seen. My granddaughter was so delighted, half the enjoyment was watching her rapturous expression. We now have four generations of devoted Riverdance fans in my family. Riverdance has touched us all in a joyous, powerful way. Thank you for bringing the show here. And thank you to an incredible cast who exceeded our expectations.

I was so happy there where coming in Montreal. I buy ticket for my mom birthday. We saw to much singing, and the most dissapointed part was to see that Michael wasn't there!!!! Sorry but....we really didn't like it!!!

My wife and I just returned from seeing this fine performance in Kennewick, Wa. What a treat to see them again for the 3rd time... There is just something in the music and in the dancing that cannot be experienced through the DVD/VHS version. Thank you for continuing another tour... I would make it 4 times if they were to return again... ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Thank you again Riverdance for the joy you bring to your audience members.

We were treated to a fabulous performance last night in Kearney, Nebraska. It was a dream come true to see Riverdance live! Thank you so much for your talent, energy, and commitment as performers. Please know how much your performance was anticipated and appreciated. My cd of Riverdance has been a staple in our cross country driving trips for MANY years. It was indeed a treat to finally connect the visual with the audio that I have come to know and love!

Quaity of performance was perfect and thoroughly enjoyed the two rascals in the dance off - they were certainly enjoying themselves and this echoed through to the audience. Saw the 1998 original and felt the 2011 farewell was a watered down version. I remember a bigger troupe of dancers, more drummers and the fantastic electric violinists dancing while they played - I was so looking forward to seeing them. Guiness was the drink of the day at the venue adding to the ambiance back then. I didn't understand the flameco dancer, although good, there was no connection. Glad I had another opportunity to be entertained but a little dissapointed.

Portland shows were terrific! I loved it and one elderly woman told me it was simply the best show she had ever seen. She couldn't stop talking about the skill of the dancers and the musicians. Come back! Your visit was too short.

I have seen every show since the first one that came to DesMoines, Iowa and will see it again and again if I get the opportunity. I'm just sorry people can't see the original show as it was first presented. I feel it told the story of the Irish immigration to America so much better. I missed the narrator telling the story and the greater involvement of the dancers. We don't need the drummer with his large set of drums onstage; it distracted from what was going on on the stage. Also I have never understood what a Spanish Flamenco dancer has to do with the story being told. Her time onstage could have been better used with the Irish dancers performing. It's become a tradition in my family so I wouldn't miss it.

My Name John H. Johnson and I've been a big fan of riverdance since I went to the Radio City Music Hall show in 1996 and I'm 14 years old. The show is very Beautiful and Sets, Costumes , Dancers are Awesome! I wish I could be a riverdancer! with love, John Johnson p.s I 'm so sad about the final tour!

I've waited 16 years to see the show since I saw a tape of the Eurovision dance while on holiday in Ireland in 1995, and it's finally come to South Africa. The music, lighting, the dancing were all excellent. Loved it to bits. Don’t wait so long to come again. Absolutely brilliant. Neil Shannon Cape Town

Jean Fredericks 28 February 2011 Thank you for this brilliant show. I enjoyed it yesterday at the Grand West Casino. I emailed all in Ireland where I visited and praised the all in the show. I appreciate Ireland more than ever. I wish I can learn the Flamenco tap dance my feet were itching, (you know the Capetownians they just love the movements) Thank you for coming Love & blessings on your lives

As a dancer, watching your show was not only one of the most breathtaking and exhilirating experiences of my life but also one of the most inspiring. I was blown away by the syncopation, the personality and the absolutely incredible ENGERY that emanates from the stage. There is a passion behind Riverdance that is more than just a love for the dance; it is a living, breathing performance that stays with you long after you have left the theatre.

My sister and I saw it Feb. 22 in Charleston WV for the 2nd time and once again the show was fantastic! The Clay Center was packed and the cast and musicians got a loud standing ovation at the end. I wished that the show would go on forever that night. Thanks to the great dancers, singers and musicians for a great night!

by Petro on Feb 7 2011 08:29

I sat spellbound - it feels surreal to watch those flying feet! My hands were swollen from the clapping, and ears were ringing from the hooting of the crowd. I wanted more! What a priviledge to see these artists.
 
 
 
 
 

by Sandy C on Feb 4 2011 00:35

<p>What a FANTASTIC experience!! I have always wanted to see Riverdance and was afraid that Dubuque, Iowa's 13in. snowstorm would keep the troupe away. They braved the weather and so did a huge crowd. The audience sat in awe at the beginning of the show. Before long, the entire audience was clapping with the beat and shouting out their approval. For me, it was the experience of a lifetime. My eyes were glued to their feet as they danced in perfect sync. It almost made me want to dust off my tap shoes and give it a try. What a hoot that would be !!!! Congrats to the troupe and Thank You for the experience. </p>

<p>I saw it when Riverdance came to Singapore 10 years ago, and with their return once again I decided I couldn't miss it. Too right I was because the show was marvelous, a fantastic phenomenon, and I had to catch it for another time. Yet, seeing it twice in a span of their 2-week tour here still wasn't enough for me! It was amazing, and even 'amazing' is an understatement. I just don't know how else I could describe the powerful energy that magnifies and explodes from the stage. Riverdance is indisputably performing arts at its best! </p>
 
 
 
 
 

by Ted on Jan 16 2011 19:23

<p>Saw Riverdance at the Verizon in Grand Prairie, TX. This was the 7th time I have seen it. I have seen it 3 times in Dublin. It is always a fantastic show and I will go again when possible. However the show in Grand Prairie did not contain the Russian dance segment and that caused some disappointment as this is always my favorite part. Just wondering why it was deleted. But it certainly won't cause me not to go back. Ted, Dallas, TX.</p>

<p>What an incredible experience !!! This is truly by far the most compelling, hypnotizing experience I could ever imagine---breathtaking !!! There are not enough words to describe this awesome performance...yes, I was afraid to blink as I did not want to miss a second of it. The training and time spent to become so perfect in movement has to be endless...I have seen Riverdance twice in my life and will be taking my mother for her birthday in this upcoming performance in Feb. The movement of these dancers draws you in and makes you wish you could move like that. Kudos to these professionals and thank you for this enjoyment in my life...</p>

<p>I am a fanatic fan of Riverdance! I love every bit of this show...from the beautiful music and instrumental solos...to the athletic dancers...to the soul-stirring vocals and percussion. All are equally fantastic and moving. I'm still humming the music and dreaming of being able to move as the dancers. Thanks for sharing your talents with this tour. I've seen this powerful show in Jackson, MS twice and hope for you to return again soon! Thanks again! Sally</p>

<p>Have seen Riverdance 11 times now. I just cannot get enough of it. Reel around the sun still sends shivers down my back. If I could, I would watch this show day in and day out. Riverdance is simply a brilliant show. The new DVD is brilliant. It was a shame that the Russian female wasn't spun round very fast in The Russian Dervish like normal</p>

by Hughese at Royal Theatre, Castlebar on Oct 4 2010 20:18

<p>Brought my Mother and Farther and wife to see the show after talking about going for the last many years. It was well worth the wait and although the Theatre was a Tad small for a show that size (stage area), it was Fantastic. The guys Loved it and I to was tapping my foot the whole way through. Great Dancers and the music was top. The poor Drummer must have had to go for a lie down as he was in nearly every part of the show 10 out of 10.&#13; </p>
 
 
 
 
 

by TinyM, Killarney on Sep 22 2010 10:57

<p>Have watched show 4 other times over the years and found this one by far the best (not that the others were not brilliant). All the dancers and the musicians were of the highest quality, they left me stunned. I can't praise the night enough. And the best venue I have found in Ireland to view this show has to be the INEC, Killarney.&#13; </p>

<p>Riverdance was excellent&#13; I wasn't expecting Riverdance to be as entertaining as it was, I thought it would be just dancing! From the very beginning the dancing, the singing, the musicians the whole show was very entertaining. In particular, the 2 tap dancers were excellent and the marrying of tap dancing and Irish dancing was just unbelievable. The whole performance got a well deserved standing ovation.&#13; Favourite moment: The tap dancers!</p>

<p>This was my 3rd time seeing Riverdance and I was not disappointed. Seen it in a large arena as well as at The Gaiety Theatre on its previous tour. The performance was flawless. Slightly scaled down (a few numbers missing), but all in all, I would recommend Riverdance to anyone who is thinking about seeing it!&#13; </p>

<p>Excitement all the way&#13; Riverdance is an exciting show from the very start. The dancing and overall production is excellent. I brought some foreign friends with me, and they enjoyed it thoroughly.&#13; Favourite moment: The humorous competition between the Irish dancers and the New York tap-dancers.</p>

<p>Riverdance was unforgettable&#13; We have had very good places and the audience and we were very enthousiastic. We are more involved than we were at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. This was more as if the group was dancing especially for us. Thank you for a very unforgettable evening.&#13; Favourite moment: There were many favourite moments. The dances and the challenge between the two 'groups' of 1 male and 2 males.</p>

<p>Riverdance - amazing!&#13; From the first haunting notes to the finale the show was amazing, So full of energy. Did not want it to end and could have gladly sat through the whole performance again. And I'm not usually a dance lover!</p>

<p>Always Great!&#13; It's my 5th time seeing Riverdance and I always get a shiver down my spine when I see it. Especially the famous parts. Love it ! My French friends who came with me last night had never heard of Riverdance and they were blown away. They were amazed at the energy and the spectacle of it. We had to get the DVD and the CD for them! Riverdance should think about Paris!&#13; Favourite moment: The dance/song/music that made them famous from the Eurovision</p>

<p>Riverdance is a delight!&#13; This is the second time I have seen Riverdance and this production is the best yet. We went as a family and my granddaughter couldn't stop her feet tapping! We all loved it all. I would recommend the show to anyone who is feeling out of sorts with the present state of the economy, or is simply feeling down. It is very uplifting and positive and full of enthusiasm. The dancing is brilliant and it was terrific to see all the cast working so well together.&#13; </p>

<p>Not to be confused with the 'little snippets' seen on tv. This extravaganza told a most beautiful story through song, dance and the most amazing music ever!&#13; &#13; Do not expect to see just terrifically timed dancing in' lines' - the choreography was spectacular especially as the stage was so small.&#13; &#13; Where was the orchestra we wondered whilst waiting for the start - the FOUR musicians came to 'light' soon enough and made a fabulous evening worth every penny spent!&#13; &#13; Even the most boring, grumpiest person in the world would find it impossible not to be moved to whooping with delight by the end...... on that I would bet a month's salary!&#13; &#13; A totally cliched review I know, but the show was totally spectacular!!!!</p>

<p>Three Thumbs Up!&#13; River Dance in Dublin is in the lovely Gaiety Theater with the "wedgewood bowl" interior. The performance is lively, face paced, varied with music and dance and overall highly entertaining! My husband who usually only tolerates music and dance shows was thoroughly impressed by the fiddler/violinist and the skill of the dancers. Our teen-age daughter enjoyed the fast-pace of the dancing and the second half of the program. I don't have the easiest people to please for an evening out, but "Riverdance" filled the bill!&#13; Favourite moment: The American Wake and the This is How Tap sequences</p>

<p>Riverdance - Mindblowing!&#13; I surprised my girlfriend for her birthday and took her to watch Riverdance at The Gaiety Theatre in Dublin.&#13; We were totally blown away by the whole show. I've seen many concerts and shows in the London West End but I'm sorry, the cast of this show, dancers &amp; musicians were on a different level!&#13; Absolutely brilliant!&#13; Favourite moment: The dance off between the Irish dancers &amp; the 'swing' dancers!</p>

<p>We were four, coming from Belgium to see Riverdance in Dublin for the second time and again we have not been disappointed, despite of some changes.&#13; Favourite moment: The comparison between the Irish way of dancing and the American way was very good and funny.</p>

<p>Great show as always&#13; went with my grandchild over from England . I have never seen her clapping and shouting that much . Highly recommend as therapy&#13; Favourite moment: Inevitably Riverdance itself, but also liked the second Spanish sequence and the dancing " fights" between Irish and and tap</p>

<p>Riverdance - A "must see" performance&#13; Fantastic, The whole show from start to finish was spectacular, the music, costumes and dancers were all first class - A must see show.&#13; Favourite moment: The closing routine at the end of the first half was worth the ticket price alone</p>

<p>Amazing&#13; I was to Riverdance show on 7 August 2010, together with my daughter, 8 years old, and the both were very happy to see so great show.&#13; My daughter is attending Irish dance classes, and I wanted to show her how nice is to see a live show, as for her is the first time when she saw it.&#13; I was impressed about the theme of the show who wanted to show to the people that if we put love in everything, the world will be little bit better for everyone. My daughter was very impressed also and after the show she related me about show in our way to home.&#13; I saw her during the show how happy she was as she clapped her hands almost all long the show.&#13; In conclusion, we are very content and happy to see so great show!!!</p>

<p>River dance was brilliannt. My hands were soar clapping. I found it hard to sit still on my seat. I have seen it many times and the music and the dance still give me shivers down my spine. I went to the show with my housband and two daughters aged 22 and 26 we all enjoyed it/</p>

<p>Riverdance - Amazing&#13; Impeccable timing by a cast that seemed to really enjoy themselves. The cast seemed to thrive on their tasks and led to a very enjoyable event for all of our party.&#13; Some of the music was absolutely riveting and the combination of dancing in the second part of the show was especially enjoyable.&#13; You can not help but be so impressed with the effort and ability of the entire cast.&#13; </p>
 
 
 
 
 

by Dreamerdancer, Gaiety Theatre, Dublin on Jul 26 2010 16:33

<p>The story line is good and the balance between dancing, singing and music is just right. The lead dancers' performance was brilliant. What about the foot work! You could see they were enjoying themselves and were in osmosis with the audience. A must see.</p>

<p>Seen Riverdance over 20 times at Wolf Trap, Vienna VA, Baltimore MD, York PA and Denver CO. I was in tears the last two nights I saw it at Wolf Trap. I would do anything to get them to come back!</p>
