A New Chapter for a Classic

RIVERDANCE first captivated audiences as just a brief seven-minute performance during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, paving the way for an entire era of Irish dance. Produced by Moya Doherty and featuring original music by composer Bill Whelan, the show evolved into a full-length theatrical experience that has since enthralled over 30 million spectators worldwide.
