Some interesting facts about 20 Years of Riverdance:
With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all
box office records during its world première run in Dublin in early 1995. When
the show transferred to London in June of that year, the reaction was
unprecedented, with the original 10 performances being increased to 151 in
subsequent months. There followed a hugely successful tour starting in New York
in March 1996, where 8 sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall heralded the
start of 16 years of non-stop touring by Riverdance companies throughout North
America. Since its inception Riverdance has packed theatres throughout North
America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and most recently South America.
