IRISH DANCING & BALLET

KICK YOUR HEELS UP for Riverdance, in town for its 25th anniversary show, April 11-13.

Presented by Broadway San Diego (broadwaysd.com) at the Civic Theatre, the newly reimagined production is an electric fusion of Irish and international dance. Its Grammy Award-winning score has been re-recorded by composer Bill Whelan; along with updated staging, lighting and costume designs—architected by producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan. And nab tickets now for City Ballet of San Diego’s presentation of Romeo & Juliet, May 6-7 at California Center for the Arts, Escondido (cityballet.org; artcenter.org). Resident choreographer Elizabeth Wistrich stages Shakespeare’s famous tragedy about two lovestruck teenagers— channeling Renaissance Italy with lush scenery and costumes. Arrive 45 minutes early for a pre-performance lecture by Steven Wistrich, City Ballet’s artistic director.
