Riverdance 30: The New Generation at Wang Theatre

It’s been 30 years since Irish dance champions Jean Butler, Michael Flatley, and the vocal ensemble Anúna took the stage during the interval at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, blowing the audience away. Producers John McColgan and Moya Doherty expanded it into a full-stage production, opening in 1995 in Dublin, and since have been delivering the magic of Riverdance straight to the hearts of over 30 million audience members around the globe with over 15,000 performances in 49 countries and six continents.

The special anniversary tour is set to rejuvenate the much-loved original show with new, innovative choreography, costumes, lighting, projection, and motion graphics, and most importantly, welcoming a new generation of performers, all of whom were not born when Riverdance was conceived as a full production 30 years ago. The North American leg of the Riverdance 30: The New Generation tour is slated to visit 35 major cities, kicking off in St. Petersburg, Florida, at the end of January 2025 and wrapping up in Portland, Oregon, early June 2025.

Let’s be frank: it’s no over-exaggeration to say that Riverdance is absolutely phenomenal. The music is genuinely goosebump-inducing, with Bill Whelan’s Grammy Award-winning scores on full display, eliciting every emotion imaginable with the creative use of all kinds of instruments – from booming drums to the melodic uilleann pipes, from the string orchestration to the iconic Irish fiddle. The breath-taking dancing is incredible and mesmerizing to behold: the unity in the exceptionally large troupe is next level, all tapping at once. It is undeniable: Riverdance is a bucket-list show: a total feast for the senses; an unparalleled celebration of culture, music, and physical talent; a beautiful amplification of powerful expression and emotion; a rich tapestry of ear-pleasing, eye-popping, and jaw-dropping artistry.

The amazing 3,500-seat Wang Theatre has one of the largest stages in the United States – ideal for a one-of-a-kind experience such as Riverdance! Seating is spread across the orchestra floor, orchestra boxes, a mezzanine, and a balcony, offering the best views, impeccable acoustics, and maximum comfort.

Riverdance conquered the world 30 years ago and still holds the reins.
