Enormously Popular Riverdance Returns to The Teatro, Joannesburg in September

April 12, 2011

The enormous popularity and unprecedented response by the South African public to Riverdance led to a complete sell-out of the show’s season at the Teatro at Montecasino earlier this year. This exceptional demand for tickets resulted in South African promoters, BIG Concerts 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.

BIG Concerts together with media partners M-Net and Jacaranda 94.2 are excited to announce the show’s second Johannesburg season in 2011. “We are indeed fortunate to secure a quick return of the 45 member cast and the remarkable Riverdance Irish Troupe to South Africa before the close of the production’s world tour at the end of this year.” says Attie van Wyk, CEO, BIG Concerts.

Riverdance holds the record at the Teatro as the most successful pre-sales show since this world-class venue opened in May 2007 and the forthcoming return season offers patrons who were unable to book tickets for the earlier season, the chance to see this not-to-be-missed entertainment experience. Riverdance, the original large scale Irish music and dance show is loved by local audiences and applauded by critics:

“Haunting music, flashing feet, beautiful girls so light they look as though they are flying … this is Riverdance.” Jennifer de Klerk, Artslink

“ … and the dancing and playing is absolutely world-class.” Bruce Dennill, Citizen

“There are few occasions where I have been so overwhelmed by the sheer radiance of a show so flawlessly executed that I have been left virtually speechless.” Peter Feldman, Artslink

“Catch them before they’re gone. They dance their way into your heart in an instant.” Diane de Beer, Tonight

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the phenomenal flying footwork, energy, sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance.
