Riverdance, the thunderous celebration of Irish music and dance that has tapped its way onto the world stage thrilling millions of people around the globe, will play five farewell performances at The Hanover Theatre, April 9 through 11, 2010.

What began as a seven-minute dance segment on the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest quickly turned into a full-scale production. "Since 1996, the success of Riverdance in North America 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."

Composed by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan, Riverdance has played over 10,000 performances and has been seen live by more than 21 million people in over 32 countries. They have traveled the equivalent of going to the moon and back (well over 563,000 miles), played to a worldwide television audience of nearly 2 billion; sold over 3 million copies of their Grammy Award-winning Platinum CD, and over 10 million videos making it one of the best-selling entertainment videos in the world.

Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland in the past decade, nothing can compare to the energy, sensuality, and spectacle of Riverdance. "I've seen this show a few times;" said Lisa Condit, Director of Marketing and PR at The Hanover Theatre, "Riverdance amazes me. Each time I see it, I notice some little subtle difference that brings the show to life in a new way."

Discover why nothing compares to the original international phenomenon. Whether it's your first time or your fifth, you won't want to miss these farewell performances of Riverdance!
