Dirty Dancing Theatre Break

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A MINIMUM STAY REQUIREMENT OF TWO NIGHTS ON ALL SATURDAY PERFORMANCES FOR THIS SHOW.

The Academy Award winning film, Dirty Dancing is considered to be one of the greatest dance movies ever made, launching the careers of Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. All the excitement and success of this 1987 blockbuster is about to strike again with Dirty Dancing, The Classic Story on Stage.

Live on stage for the first time ever, Dirty Dancing, The Classic Story on Stage, will re-live and revive Eleanor Bergstein's magnificent coming of age story. This timeless story is based upon the author's warm recollections of summer vacations spent in the Catskills with her parents as a teenager. Interestingly, Ms Bergstein wrote the script after first choosing the music.

This novel approach clearly worked with the theme of the songs - "It was the time when your parents' music was no longer their own and you couldn't separate the lyrics from what was happening in your heart".

The captivating story takes place at a resort called Kellerman's, in Catskill, New York in the summer of 1963 and centres around the realtionship between daddy's girl , Frances "Baby" Houseman, and a talented, intense and handsome dance instructor, Johnny Castle.

The musical score is packed with both contemporary 80's and period numbers, including the smash hit and Academy Award Winner for Best Song, "Time of My Life". This is a story about not being afraid of what people think, not being afraid to break the rules and is as relevant today as it ever was.
