Riverdance – The 20th Anniversary World Tour is composed by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan. Riverdance – The 20th Anniversary World Tour will feature new costumes, new lighting, new projections and the addition of a brand new number, “Anna Livia,” featuring the female members of the Irish dance troupe in an a cappella hard-shoe number.
For over 20 years, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance. Riverdance began its journey as the interval act in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, produced for television by Moya Doherty. This electrifying and innovative seven minute dance piece was then developed into a full-length stage show by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan. With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin in early 1995.

About One Girl Can
One Girl Can’s mission is to empower girls through education to break the cycle of poverty and gender inequality. The organization does so by sponsoring girls and investing in their education from the time that they leave primary school right up until they find meaningful employment.
Spring Break and Easter are over but a full season of events is just beginning! There are tulip festivals, theatre productions, shows and expos, galas, farmers markets and more happening around Metro Vancouver this weekend.
