The tickets went on sale some time ago, but if anyone is interested in checking this out, post. Test your manhood, go see Riverdance.

OMFG...
I echo djdelly's sentiments.
I bought tickets for an ex-gf once, but I insisted that she take her dad. They were both Irish/French, so as white as can be. Needless to say they dug it.
Everytime I think I'm fitting in here in Minnesota, someone's gotta pull something like this

Ummmmm...excuse me?!? I'm an actor.
Anytime you wanna go to the theatre or to the ballet or to the orchestra give me a call...but I can't hang with the Riverdance. I'll even check out some Andrew Lloyd Weber with you...but I just can't get into the clickey clack of the Riverdance.

It's not all "clikey clack". Half of the production consists of vocal and instrumental-only performances. The vocal performances are...the f**cking tops in Riverdance. Well, at least in the original Riverdance entitled The Show (VHS only
) and in the live performance at New York City the vocals were awesome. I've yet to see it live, but oh...no. You ninnys' are afraid of the manly "clickey clack"

Since I feel like you are insulting my sense of culture...if you would like someone to go with you've got yourself a date.

Dude, Magician... I love you like a brother, but don't, I repeat DO NOT, equate the opera, symphony, ballet, theater or even musicals to "Riverdance"
I will go to any of the previous (in order of preference), but never "Riverdance". Heck, I like all Irish/Scottish/Celtic/etc music, but I'm not putting a foot or penny for a Riverdance show -well, I did pay them once, but again that was for other people. Then again I also would've said the same thing about "Jim Brickman" (If I'd even heard of him prior to my g/f), but now I've gone and seen him twice (bleh x2000000) and I have the ticket price in my credit record for the next few years.
I also dig STOMP, but I didn't know where to classify it.
Sign me up for 90% of jazz music too!
Blue Star/Dakota/Artists' Quarter/Sophie's/etc. -its all good.
On a final, sad note: I learned at the Regents meeting today that Yanni is an alum of the U. As the Grad/Prof Student Rep. to the UMN Board of Regents, humanity has my apology.

naitram said:MN Roll Call for some kick ass movie dear God please let there be one playing the night of 11/27/04
According the IMDB, the only one scheduled to open on that night will be:
My Bollywood Bride
However, only a few days before:
The Beauty Shophttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388500 (yup, its a female "Barber Shop" with Queen Latifah) will open... It sounds like competition: Queen Latifah vs. Riverdance
On Nov. 19th, there will be a dearth of interesting movies, including:
Terry Gilliam's The Brother's Grimm, Polar Express (Zemekis/Hanks), and the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (which, IMO, just edges out RiverDance in my book).
Isn't Halo 2 being released a few weeks earlier? Why not just have a big Halo 2 gathering at someone's place instead
Still, I would like take this time and Preemptively Roll-Call December 1st's "The Life Aquatic" (the latest movie by Wes Anderson of Rushmore/Royal Tennenbaum fame). I'm sure most of you know about it already. I expect it to rock.
