'Riverdance' ending North American run

NEW YORK, May 30 (UPI) -- The North American touring production of the Irish music sensation "Riverdance" is to play its final performance next month, producers said.

The troupe's last show will be June 17 at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Va.

"Three years ago, we embarked on our farewell tour, saying good-bye to every city in North America we have ever played in over the years, and this June 17 -- in our 16th year -- this current production of 'Riverdance' will end and we will say our final good-bye," producer Moya Doherty said in a statement. "It has been a source of immense pride for me as producer that America took 'Riverdance' to its heart to such an amazing extent and I would like to pay tribute to every dancer, musician, singer and all the crew and staff who served 'Riverdance' so well over the years."
