Plymouth Pavilions are proud to be hosting Riverdance, the Farewell Tour. Taking in 14 cities across the UK from January, the award winning show returns to the city from Tuesday 3 to Sunday 8 February 2009.
This is the last chance for UK audiences to see the show rightly described by the Irish Times as “The Original…The Best”.
The Washington Post exclaimed, “Twelve years after its Dublin premiere, its continued popularity proves that it was, and remains, a phenomenon of historic proportions!”
“Since 1995, the success of RIVERDANCE in the UK has gone beyond our wildest dreams,” said producer Moya Doherty. “The fact that the show continues to draw and excite audiences 13 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. We look forward to this farewell tour of the UK as it was always our intention to end on a high note.”
Composed by Bill Whelan, Produced by Moya Doherty and Directed by John McColgan, the full-length show opened in February 1995 in the Point Theatre, Dublin and The Farewell Tour will be the eighth time that Riverdance has performed across the UK where it has been experienced by over 2.7 million people in well over 1000 performances in 18 cities and the show has lost none of its magic. The worldwide TV audience for Riverdance is in excess of 2 billion people.
Riverdance has received rave reviews across the world but perhaps the simplicity of The Guardian’s verdict sums it up: “Dance does not often get so good.” Riverdance is a celebration of Irish dance and culture, presented with sophistication and vibrancy.” The Hollywood Reporter acclaimed, “the sort of spectacle and experience that comes along once in a lifetime.”
This series of dates in 2009 represent the chance for UK Riverdance fans old and new to experience a truly phenomenal piece of theatrical entertainment.
