　　《大河之舞》猶如一部敘述愛爾蘭祖先與大自然抗爭，以及經歷戰爭、饑荒等種種苦難後流離失所，重建家園的長篇血淚史詩。歷史宛如一條長河，滔滔不絕地傳承著智慧、勇氣、生命與愛。

　　超級製作人莫亞多何第（MOYA DOHERTY）在這場百老匯音樂劇《大河之舞》中以嚴謹的舞蹈編排與精準的場面調度，力圖展現多樣化的表演藝術風貌。該劇以傳統愛爾蘭民族特色的踢踏舞為主軸，融合熱情奔放的西班牙弗拉明戈舞，並吸取古典芭蕾與現代舞蹈的精髓，共同營造出一場氣勢如虹，劇力萬鈞的精彩舞作。而愛爾蘭管弦樂團的演奏及合唱團的天籟美聲更是起到了畫龍點睛的作用。《大河之舞》是一場力感、動感、質感與美感兼具的百老匯音樂歌舞盛宴。

　　In a primitive and powerful world， our ancestors knew fear and joy and fire， worked wood and stone and water to make a place they could call home. The first peoples knew the world as a place of power. Their songs and dances and stories are negotiations with elemental powers. The first half of this performance shows them coming to terms with the world and with themselves.

　　The people in this section are those responsible for the creation of the Riverdance phenomenon. When Moya Doherty had the original idea， the dream became reality with the help of Bill Whelan， who began by composing the seven－minute Riverdance piece for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. From those beginnings， the show grew under the guidance of director John McColgan， along with the designers and the creative management team into Riverdance － The Show.

　　"Riverdance" leaves the audience in awe. The Celtic chanting， Irish step dancers and soloists are remarkable. The show blends many cultures； scenes are dedicated to Russian， African－American， Spanish and， of course， Irish heritage.

　　"Riverdance" modernizes Irish traditions and mesmerizes the audience from beginning to end. The dancers encourage the audiences to join in by clapping to the music and the musicians captivate with their unending talent， making the show a must－see.
