Called the "hottest event on 160 legs," this multinational extravaganza powered by outstanding Celtic dancing and music offers nearly 90 minutes of Irish culture at its finest. Filmed live in Dublin, Ireland, the fancy footwork of leads Michael Flatley and Jean Butler will astound you (and cross your eyes if you're not careful--their feet move so quickly). Our only quibble is that video is not a fast enough medium to truly capture the Riverdance Irish Dance Company in all their nuanced glory; 35mm film would have made this a heavenly experience indeed. Still, this is highly and warmly recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (R. Pitman)
