WELCOME TO THE KENTUCKY CENTER!
We are thrilled to have you join us for this extraordinary celebration of Irish music, dance, and culture. Since its debut, Riverdance has captivated audiences around the world with its powerful rhythms, breathtaking choreography, and the incredible talent of its performers. Whether this is your first experience with Riverdance or you’ve been part of the journey for years, we are honored to share this unforgettable performance with you.
Coming up next—right after Derby—we are excited to welcome back The Book of Mormon. This nine-time Tony Award®-winning musical follows a pair of mismatched missionaries sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the award-winning creators of South Park, and Robert Lopez, two-time EGOT winner for Best Original Songs from the musicals Frozen and Coco and co-creator of Avenue Q. This smash-hit musical opened on Broadway in 2011 and has since become one of the most successful musicals of all time.
We hope you’ve seen our announcement for the 2026-2027 Season. We’re proud to present five brand-new musicals alongside two audience favorites that have previously played our stage. If you’ve already renewed your season tickets, thank you! If you’re interested in becoming a subscriber, sign up for our priority waitlist to be first in line when tickets go on sale next month.

RIVERDANCE CAST & BAND
THE RIVERDANCE IRISH DANCE TROUPE. The Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe are world-class Irish dancers. They hail mostly from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. Between them the dancers can boast of hundreds of championships won in Ireland and abroad. Most started dancing at a young age at local dance schools and progressed to world championship level before being chosen to perform in Riverdance. The dancers would have known and competed against each other at various competitions, including the World Championships. Riverdance has given them the opportunity to perform together in a noncompetitive way. The grace and eloquence of their soft-shoe dance and the power and precision of their hard-shoe routines clearly display the endless hours of practice and their dedication to the art of Irish Dance.
