Riverdance--The Show is a cultural phenomenon that defiescriticism for the enthusiastic and leaves everyone else scratching their heads. The wonderfully talented cast, headed by the Riverdance Irish Dance Company, bewitchingly spins (and stomps) its Celtic folkchoreography featuring numerous breathless solos byMichael Flatley (since departed) and Jean Butler. The mellifluous RiverdanceOrchestra boasts Davy Spillane, who coaxes plaintive lamentations out of a peculiar instrument that resembles a bagpipe in a metal leg brace. For Enya fans, there is the sound-alike choral group Anuna, who casts a similarly NewAge-style vocal spell. Also thrown into the mix are such disparate folk traditions as American gospel and Spanish flamenco.Though it's only70 minutes long, Riverdance is repetitive by half. But judging from the ecstatic audience ovations and the continued foot-stomping during and after the curtain calls, too much is still not enough. --Richard Natale

- Riverdance Live from New York City
I bought 2 Riverdance Live from New York City. I purchased them from two different sources.One was great. The other one had no music. I sent an email to the defecive seller and they sent me instructions on how I might be able to get the music to come on. However, I haven't figured it out yet.

- Disappointed
I bought this DVD to replace my VHS tape because I thought it would be better quality and easier to skip around between tracks.
Wrong on both counts. This is NOT HD quality by any stretch of the imagination. It is very grainy on my $20,000 home theater system. The movement is jerky at times, and honestly is LESS impressive than my five year old VCR tape.
Furthermore, the videographer skips around, often showing just the faces of the performers when this is a DANCE video, ... Read More
