Riverdance returns to Wilson Center during 30th anniversary tour
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Riverdance is embarking on a 30th anniversary tour, with one of its stops in Wilmington.
Riverdance will perform three live shows at the Wilson Center on February 15 at 7:30 p.m. and on February 16 at 1:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
This special anniversary tour rejuvenates the original show with new choreography and costumes and state-of-the-art lighting, projection, and motion graphics. And for the first time, Riverdance welcomes “The New Generation” of performers, all of whom were not born when the show began 30 years ago.
“It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on,” said John McColgan, Director of Riverdance. “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. On this upcoming tour, we look forward to welcoming the next generation of artists while paying tribute to the talented performers, creators, dedicated crew, and millions of fans who have made Riverdance a worldwide celebration of music and dance.”
The 30th anniversary tour of Riverdance features a score composed by Bill Whelan.
Tickets will go on sale to Wilson Center Members beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday and to the general public at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday. Tickets can be purchased here or by contacting the box office at (910) 362-7999 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
