New York — When Julian Erskine last saw the American touring company of "Riverdance," he had to smile.
He was in the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on an October night in Costa Mesa, Calif., watching the high-stepping cast electrify the crowd once again despite more than a dozen years crisscrossing the nation.
"To be at the back of a hall with the audience jumping to their feet at the end of the show after all these years, it's just so gratifying and just so pleasing," says Erskine, the show's senior executive producer, by phone from Dublin.
Even so, the end of the road is nearing. "Riverdance" is currently on an 82-city farewell North American tour that's winding across the U.S. and Canada and ends in June. This month, the show left Texas, hit the Southeast and next goes to the Plains.
"It's certainly emotional to be saying goodbye," says Erskine.
