Riverdance: The New 25th Anniversary Show will be performed at Live at the Marquee Cork from June 2nd to 5th. Tickets go on sale Friday October 29th.
Riverdance has been celebrated the world over for its Grammy Award-winning music and the thrilling energy and passion of its Irish and international dance. Composer Bill Whelan has rerecorded his original soundtrack. While producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan have reimagined the show through lighting, projection, stage and costume designs.
Riverdance in Cork this June
John McColgan spoke to Vinny and Aoibhin for WLR, as the show was officially announced by Aiken at the River Lee Hotel in Cork:
The lighting is different, we re-recorded the soundtrack and it sounds different and fresh like a new show. The one reaction we got when we opened in the 3 Arena in Dublin was that people were actually staggered at how different is was, and at the same time it's the same. We didn't want to take anything out of it that people already loved."
