VHS Tape Description

Riverdance--The Show is a cultural phenomenon that defies criticism for the enthusiastic and leaves everyone else scratching their heads. The wonderfully talented cast, headed by the Riverdance Irish Dance Company, bewitchingly spins (and stomps) its Celtic folk choreography featuring numerous breathless solos by Michael Flatley (since departed) and Jean Butler. The mellifluous Riverdance Orchestra boasts Davy Spillane, who coaxes plaintive lamentations out of a peculiar instrument that resembles a bagpipe in a metal leg brace. For Enya fans, there is the sound-alike choral group Anuna, who casts a similarly New Age-style vocal spell. Also thrown into the mix are such disparate folk traditions as American gospel and Spanish flamenco. Though it's only 70 minutes long, Riverdance is repetitive by half. But judging from the ecstatic audience ovations and the continued foot-stomping during and after the curtain calls, too much is still not enough. --Richard Natale


Reviews from Customers

Brilliant!

I agree with all my heart with the people on this website who claim that this original is the best and can never be beaten by the, ahem, new versions of this spectacular show.
From start to finish, this magnificent performance danced my heart away! (sadly, pun intended) with the lovely Maria pages and her wonderful passionate flamenco dance numbers, Michael Flatley who is just great (his part in Reel around the Sun is just breath-taking), Jean Butler, the beautiful redhead whose dancing is the best I've ever seen, and of course the Riverdance troupe! You can't forget them. They're the life of the show. And the singing is mesmerising.
My favourite dance show ever.

Get down and watch it!

The Very Best!!!

There's so much to preview in this show, that to share it all would take a couple of pages. However, the highlights are the music, the singers, and "The Dance."

Flatley is INCREDIBLE, and the show flows like a river (pardon the pun). It is superbly choreographed and executed, and it goes from the serene to the sensational in a split second. The orchestrations are touching and the Irish/Celtic music is haunting, as are the costumes.

This is theatre at its very best, and it is highly recommended. I'd give it 20 stars if I could!!!
