It was a few years ago that the phenomenon that is "Riverdance" took the nation by storm. And already, it's starting to wear out its welcome.

REVIEW BY: Christopher Thelen

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 07/06/2000

It was a few years ago that the phenomenon that is "Riverdance"took the nation by storm. And already, it's starting to wear outits welcome.

I say this not because I'm sick of the Irish music - hell, Ilove Irish music. And it's not that I'm sick of the dancers,although I know that if I ever tried any of the moves they did,people would be rushing me to the hospital for a heart attack andbecause I somehow wrapped my legs around my head.

But when we get to the point of building a Broadway show around"Riverdance," well, that just seems to be too much of a good thing.And as the soundtrack to the show, Riverdance On Broadway, proves, some things just shouldn'tbe tampered with, like the formula for Coca-Cola or"Dudley-Do-Right".

Musically, there are some incredible pieces on this disc, andcomposer Bill Whelan is to be commended for such pieces as"Firedance" and "The Countess Cathless / Women On The Sidhe" whichthrow things into overdrive to catch the spirit of the originalproduction and keep things sounding fresh.

I have bought the Four Seasons on 45 rpm record. I have bought the Four Seasons on LP record. I have bought the Four Seasons on CD. I have bought the Four Seasons on DVD. I even have an old Four Seasons 8-track lying round. And now the Four Seasons, or at least their music, has come to Broadway.
