The event kicked off at lunchtime outside the theatre and will continue all night until lunchtime tomorrow.

The executive producer for Riverdance Julian Erskine came up with the idea who thought that a 24 hour even fitted in nicely with the non-stop work of the Hospice.
“Every year we do Riverdance in The Gaiety and we try to associate ourselves with a charity to support them and this year it’s the Irish Hospice Foundation, an organisation that I have great admiration for,” he told RTE Entertainment.
“They do extraordinary work and because they supply 24-hour care, we thought we should do something for 24 hours to reflect that.
“So we decided, what do we do? We dance. Why don’t we dance for 24 hours.”
Pop down to the Gaiety to show your support and maybe even join in a jig!
