Dirty Dancing

Dirty Dancing, London West End

A great girls night and must see for fans of the '80s film, Dirty Dancing, The Classic Story On Stage has been a hit on London's West End since it opened in November 2007; even before it even opened in London, the show had sold out for the first six months of its run.

If you are not familliar with the plot of Dirty Dancing, it is based on the romantic comming of age film set in 1963, about Frances 'Baby' Houseman, who, whilst on a family holiday meets, dances (a lot), and ultimately falls in love with Jonny Castle the resort's rough around the edges dance teacher, played by Patrick Swayze.

All this occurs to a by now familliar '80s soundtrack culminating in the finale "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life", performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.

Dirty Dancing The London musical is definitely worth going to see. Turning the film into a stage show is achieved through a mix of mulimedia, a series of LED screens, display video, stills and live-feed film, all adding depth and a sense of movement.
