‘Riverdance’ returns to Lutcher Theater this week
ORANGE — “Riverdance,” the thunderous celebration of Irish music, song and dance that has tapped its way onto the world stage thrilling millions of people around the globe, will play four farewell performances this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Lutcher Theater.
Tickets for “Riverdance” are on sale now from $35 to $65 and are available at the Lutcher Theater box office or by calling 409-886-5535. You may also order tickets online at www.lutcher.org. Show are at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Sunday.
“Since 1996, the success of “Riverdance” in North America has gone beyond our wildest dreams,” said producer Moya Doherty. “The fact that the show continues to draw and excite audiences 14 years after its debut in Dublin is a tribute to every dancer, singer, musician, staff and crew member who have dedicated themselves to the show.”
In a flash, “Riverdance” became Ireland’s greatest ambassador and the thirst began. “Riverdance” changed the face of Irish dance and despite its imitators, has remained on top and was voted the #1 Variety/Family Entertainment Show in the US (1998).
There have been many milestones along the way including the distinction of being the largest Western musical to play China; a record-breaking line of 100 Irish dancers mesmerizing 85,000 people at the 2004 Special Olympics in Dublin; a 10th Anniversary celebration at Radio City Music Hall; dancing in Red Square and on the Great Wall of China and much more.
