RIVERDANCE!

For Valentine's Day, Rich bought us all tickets to go see Riverdance at the Palace Theater. So on Friday evening, we got all dressed up (sorry, no pics) and headed off to O'Charley's for dinner. We saw that it was too crowded so we went to a Sports Bar for quesadillas instead. ^_^

We arrived at the Palace Theater around 7: 30ish, Rich bought me a program (that's where the pictures are from). They let us in to get to our seats at 8:00, and my goodness, it was PACKED. i was a bit surprised, for some reason i didn't think there would be so many people.

The music was AWESOME, especially the fiddler, he was very talented. I can't imagine the calluses that guy has to have on his hands!

The singing was GORGEOUS, what lovely voices they have. ^_^

But of course, my FAVORITE part was the dancing. AHH! IT WAS SO COOL! The costumes were beautiful. And when they all danced in a line, their legs moving too fast to follow, and looking over at each other and smiling, WHAT FUN!

One of my favorite parts was the TAP OFF! they had to tap dancers accompanied by a saxophonist and then three Irish step dancers come on the stage with their fiddler. The dancers (and musicians) took turns show off their AWESOME school. The Irish dancers one the TAP OFF in my opinion. ^_^

Oh my GOODNESS, i could go on, but it's nothing compared to actually SEEING IT! What an experience!

Highlights of the evening:

1.) Going through the revolving door with Rich! That was REALLY fun!
2.) the guy who was selling DVDs, CDs, and Programs before the show and during intermission, just the way he was saying "programs", it was GREAT!
3.) The TAP OFF! ^_^ heeheehee
4.) The fiddler! AWESOME!
5.) SEEING RIVERDANCE!


p.s. it was AWESOME, go see it! ^_^
