Back to Johannesburg by popular demand

Riverdance Back By Popular Demand!

There’s no better way to celebrate the beginning of spring than in the company of Riverdance, the original large scale Irish dance show that brings foot flashing energy, sensuality and a spectacle of colour to the Teatro for a remarkable second season this year.

“Mesmerising, spectacularly sublime” STAR Tonight 1/2/11

The enormous popularity and unprecedented response by the South African public to Riverdance led to a complete sell-out of the show’s January 2011 season. This exceptional demand for tickets resulted in South African promoters, BIG Concerts in association with media partners M-Net and Jacaranda 94.2 bringing the show back to the Teatro for a return season opening on Tuesday, 27 September 2011 for two weeks only, ending on Sunday, 9 October 2011. Patrons who missed the earlier season are encouraged to book through Computicket.

“what a multifaceted show Riverdance truly is, full of unexpected moments of sheer artistic eloquence” Sunday Times SA, 6/2/11

Riverdance, the international Irish dance phenomenon, has been seen by a worldwide audience of 22 million in over 10,000 performances in forty plus countries throughout five continents. Riverdance also has a global television audience of more than two billion people making it the most successful dance show of its kind to hail from Ireland.

The forty-five member Riverdance company brings its innovative and exciting blend of dance, music and song back to the Teatro. Drawing on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish dancing and music into present day. The fusion of Irish dancing with such diverse dance styles as Flamenco and American tap dancing captures the imagination of audiences across all ages and cultures.

“Riverdance is almost impossible to describe in words. The immense skill, timing and precision of the dancers is breathtaking” Citypress.co.za 6/2/11
