Riverdance has been around since the early 1990s, but this is the first time that I caught the show.
The dancing is precisely co-ordinated and at times incredibly fast. It is a real treat for the senses as Ireland comes alive in the forms of dancers, singers and musicians.
Ireland is part of my heritage and I was able to indentify with this type of storytelling that used poetry, dances and songs to demonstrate how the Irish overcame adversity and found their place in the world.
A major disappointment were musical interludes from the musicians which slowed things down and took attention off the storyline. Three Stars.
