Reviewer Darren Cordeiro

30 years of Riverdance is a fact and one that hits home, literally. One of my fondest childhood memories is of my late mother taking my siblings and me to see Lord of the Dance and Riverdance at GM Place, now Rogers Arena. Growing up in Chilliwack in the ’80s and ’90s, we didn’t have access to performances of this calibre locally. Seeing a show in the “Big City” was always a special occasion – a way to expand our young minds through exposure to art and culture. As a single parent herself, my mother made sure we had those experiences. Full review
