"Since 1996, the success of "Riverdance" in North America has gone beyond our wildest dreams," said Producer Moya doherty. "The fact that the show continues to draw and excite audiences 13 years after its debut in Dublin is a tribute to every dancer, singer, musician, staff and crew member who have dedicated themselves to the show."

sold more than 3 million copies of the Grammy Award-winning CD (certified Platinum in the United States) and more than 10 million videos, making it one of the best-selling entertainment videos in the world. "Riverdance" had its world premiere at the Point Theatre, Dublin, in February 1995, where it opened to unanimous critical acclaim.
