Dirty Dancing – West End Musical
The movie Dirty Dancing, which starred Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze, was released in 1987 and was a big hit. All the hit songs from the film’s soundtrack, including Do You Love Me, She’s Like The Wind and Time of My Life, are featured in the stage show, with some new numbers.
The show is now at the Aldwych Theatre and booking until 23 October 2010. The director of the stage production is James Powell and the producer is Jacobsen Entertainment, in association with Lionsgate and Magic Hour Productions.
Re-written for the stage, the story still includes all of the movies most memorable moments and some added scenes as well. The Houseman’s take their vacation at a popular holiday camp where their youngest daughter ‘Baby’ meets ‘Johnny,’ the dance teacher from the wrong side of the tracks. Baby and Johnny fall in love and through their love we see that love can conquer all barriers and we learn that ‘nobody puts Baby in the corner.’
The stage production lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes. The musical supervisor is Conrad Helfrich.
The show does feature a limited amount of mild swearing and themes of a sexual nature.
