Get ready, Boston, because the global phenomenon that is Riverdance is celebrating 30 years of jaw-dropping performances, and the anniversary tour will be in town April 8th – 13th at the Wang Theater.

If you grew up in the ‘90s, you definitely remember the Riverdance craze—those lightning-fast footwork routines, the hauntingly beautiful music, and the sheer magic of it all. What started as a simple interval act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest exploded into an international sensation, making Irish dance cool again and winning over audiences around the world.

To mark this major milestone, Riverdance is stepping things up—literally. This tour isn’t just a greatest-hits version of the show; it’s a reimagined spectacle featuring brand-new choreography, next-level costumes, and cutting-edge visuals. In a true “full-circle” moment, the show welcomes an entirely new generation of dancers—none of whom were even born when Riverdance first took the stage.

Director John McColgan reflected on the show’s journey: “It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on. In those 30 years, the show has transformed from a spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon—continuously evolving yet remaining true to its Irish roots.”

Produced by Moya Doherty and featuring music by Grammy-winning composer Bill Whelan, this anniversary tour promises to be a stunning blend of tradition and innovation, proving that Riverdance still has the power to captivate audiences like never before.

So, whether you’re an OG fan or new to the Riverdance magic, this is one show you won’t want to miss. Riverdance will be in town April 8th – 13th at the Wang Theater.  You can purchase your tickets here!
