Now Gem had never seen Riverdance and we were only wee babies when it won The Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, so we hadn't seen the original but this show is brilliant!
The actual show starts with some stamping and a weird voice over who talks a load of craziness throughout the show, but when the first dancers start, you just get chills! There is no doubt that these people are absolutely brilliant at what they do! From the actual riverdance to the jumps, flips and spins, these dancers have serious talent!
The 20th anniversary tour is a mixture of Irish and international dance and music, Gem didn't know this when we went and was totally confused as to why they were doing the Flamenco and tap! Speaking of tap, the two guys who portray American style dance were absolutely hilarious! They really lighten up the performance!

At first, when the main dancer comes on stage you think, "What the hell is this guy wearing?" but don't worry, his wardrobe gets worse! It goes from puffy pirate shirt to leather pants, shirt and jacket. However while pirate shirt is dancing you don't care what he's wearing, his feet move like lightening! It is incredible!
Tickets for this show were kinda pricey, ours were €50.00 and popcorn and drinks in the Gaiety Theatre can be expensive, which sucks but for a show as good as Riverdance you don't mind!
