Review: "Riverdance" at San Jose Center for Performing Arts

Inna purchased two front-row tickets to Riverdance at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts for my birthday.

I didn't know what to expect, as I had never seen it before and knew Michael Flatley no longer danced in this show.

We had a great view of the performance from the front row and enjoyed the dancers' energy. It was well-performed and enjoyable. I especially liked the Flamenco Dancer and the drummer (who played with great enthusiasm and energy).

According to Wikipedia:
Riverdance is a theatrical show consisting mainly of traditional Irish music and dance. Featuring Irish dancing champions Jean Butler and Michael Flatley, and with a score composed by Limerick native Bill Whelan, it originated as an interval performance act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Shortly afterwards, husband and wife production team John McColgan and Moya Doherty expanded it into a stage show, which opened in Dublin on 9 February 1995. Since then, the show has visited over 450 venues worldwide and been seen by over 25 million people, making it one of the most successful dance productions in the world.
