www.riverdance.com and look at the show section it gives you a rundown of each scene, I found it quite emotional at times , with the sadness, struggle, hardship and joy, it covers everything and finishes with ( well you need to see it ) it effects people differently, I personally came out buzzing for days after and cant wait to see it again...

Act One
In a primitive and powerful world, our ancestors knew fear and joy and fire, worked wood and stone and water to make a place they could call home. The first peoples knew the world as a place of power. Their songs and dances and stories are negotiations with elemental powers. The first half of this performance shows them coming to terms with the world and with themselves.
