If you had the opportunity to see RIVERDANCE at the Fox this past weekend, then you were treated to a fine display of Terpsichore and musicianship. If you didn't, then you may have missed your chance to see it at all, since it was, in all likelihood, the troupe's final trip to St. Louis. It's a shame, because the show is really an entertaining mix of song and dance. I saw it last year, and I took my wife and son with me this year, and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The sheer athleticism of the dancers, backed by the superb interplay of some world class musicians, is not one that should be missed. The audience in attendance certainly responded very favorably to this unique production.
