Riverdance Singer UK Auditions 2005

On the 15th March 2005 it will be 10 years since Riverdance first appeared on the stage of Radio City Music Hall, New York.

Composed by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan, the full-length show opened February 1995 in the Point Theatre and since then has been experienced live by over 16 million people worldwide. There have been over 6,000 performances in over 200 venues in 27 countries across 4 continents. In February 1997 the album won a Grammy Award as “Best Musical Show Album”. The worldwide TV audience to date is in excess of 1.5 billion people.

Riverdance is holding auditions throughout the UK in 2005 for the next generation of Riverdance singers, both male and female. A background in traditional Irish or Scottish music may be an advantage, as would choral church or early music experience.
