Join Irish Dance Troupe member Fiona McCabe as she tells us about her trip to New Orleans, some of her favourite cities on tour and gives us another style file.
This week, we travelled to six cities and covered approximately 1538miles in two coaches; the ‘loud coach’ catering for people who may want to chat, watch DVDs etc and the ‘quiet coach’ for those who wish to remain silent for an entire journey.
Riverdance Principal Dancer Padraic Moyles will be featured in a segment on the nationally-syndicated U.S. magazine program called CAREER DAY. The interview was shot in Los Angeles when Riverdance was at the Pantages Theatre in November, 2011. His segment will air the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17-18.
Julian Erskine, the Irish senior executive producer of the musical sensation Riverdance, knows he’s done a good job if people dance out of the theater after a performance.
That was how he felt when he came to China with Riverdance.
Even so, the end of the road is nearing. The show is currently on an 82-city farewell North American tour that’s winding across the U.S. and Canada and ends in June. This month, the show left Texas, hit the Southeast and next goes to the Plains.
Join Irish Dance Troupe member Maeve Fearon as she travels with Riverdance to 4 cities in one week – seventeen years since the opening night of Riverdance in Dublin in 1995.
The international Irish-dance sensation known as the Riverdance Tour will hop and step into Fort Smith one final time this month.
Part of the Riverdance Final U.S. Tour will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Fort Smith Convention Center, 55 S. Seventh St. The all-ages concert will be as much of a joy for those onstage as it will be for anyone seated in the audience, said Padriac Moyles, a principal dancer with the tour.
