Re: riverdance
something i would love to see also, a few years ago (when china had bird flu) we walked in a little pub i know in an irish village, and these 3 guys were in, they set up and started jamming, brilliant as we were sat on next table,when they had a break i said you should be doing this for a living - they said we do, should have been in china with Riverdance,but the tour has been postponed due to the bird flu, so we are just keeping our hand in, they actually put on a great perfomance for nowt,were really top people and very friendly, so since that night i have always wanted to see the show.- RESPECT.

Re: riverdance
I saw it in Manchester probably about 1997/8. It was fantastic....... there's something about men dancing in leather trousers (maybe that's too much info).

Re: riverdance
What is it like exactly Cherokee ?.. never really fancied it, the thought of watching loads of Irish dancing all night (albeit very skilled) bores the pants of me. Think I may be pre-judging though ... do they have other things going on ?

Re: riverdance
its basicly a story katex if you go to this link www.riverdance.com and look at the show section it gives you a rundown of each scene, I found it quite emotional at times , with the sadness, struggle, hardship and joy, it covers everything and finishes with ( well you need to see it ) it effects people differently, I personally came out buzzing for days after and cant wait to see it again...
Scene by Scene
Reel Around The Sun
The Heart's Cry
The Countess Cathleen
Caoineadh Chu Chulainn
Thunderstorm
Shivna
Firedance
Slip into Spring - The Harvest
Riverdance
American Wake
Lift the Wings
The Harbour of the New World
Slow Air, Tunes / Heartland
Riverdance Finale
The Journey
The Boyne
Scene by Scene
Act One
In a primitive and powerful world, our ancestors knew fear and joy and fire, worked wood and stone and water to make a place they could call home. The first peoples knew the world as a place of power. Their songs and dances and stories are negotiations with elemental powers. The first half of this performance shows them coming to terms with the world and with themselves.
