Riverdance — Touring Dance Spectacle This Week

Riverdance 30 — The New Generation starts a five-performance run at San Diego Civic Theatre on Friday, May 1, and stays through Sunday, May 3. (broadwaysd.com) (ticketmaster.com) Ticketmaster lists the San Diego schedule as 7:30 p.m. on May 1, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on May 2, and 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on May 3. Broadway San Diego lists the same May 1-3 engagement at the downtown venue. (ticketmaster.com) (broadwaysd.com) This is the 30th-anniversary version of the Irish dance production, billed as Riverdance 30 — The New Generation. The official Riverdance site says the 2026 U.S. tour is playing 67 cities and runs until June 28. (riverdance.com 1) (riverdance.com 2) Riverdance says the anniversary production keeps the original mix of Irish and international dance and music but adds new choreography, costumes, lighting, projection and motion graphics. The company also says the cast is a “new generation” of performers who were not born when the show began 30 years ago. (riverdance.com 1) (riverdance.com 2) Broadway San Diego describes the San Diego stop as an added event in its 48th season rather than part of the core subscription lineup. The venue listing says tickets are sold through Broadway San Diego, Ticketmaster and the Civic Theatre box office. (broadwaysd.com) (sandiegotheatres.org) Riverdance first broke out internationally after its 1994 Eurovision interval performance, and the brand has spent three decades touring theaters and arenas. The current production is the company’s latest North American return after its earlier 25th Anniversary Show.
