Synopsis
Beloved coming of age film, Dirty Dancing comes to the stage to take you back to 1963... ....when everybody called me Baby and it didn’t occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy got shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn’t wait to join the Peace Corps and I thought I’d never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman’s’ Experience the excitement and romance of the blockbuster film - live on stage. Featuring the hit songs from the best selling movie soundtrack of all time including; Time Of My Life, Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby and Do You Love Me? First dance. First love. The 1987 film starred Jennifer Grey as the teenaged Baby who falls in love with the camp's working class dance instructor, played by Patrick Swayze.
Our Review:
23 May 2013
The classic story brought to the stage by Eleanor Bergstein is a fantastic production directed by Sarah Tipple and choreographed by Kate Champion.
Welcome to Kellerman’s the holiday resort that is certain to entertain. We find ourselves amid the world of the Houseman family with Dr Jake Houseman (James Coombes), Mrs Marjorie Houseman (Julia Nagle) and their two daughters Lisa and Baby. The story follows the evolving relationship between Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman (Jill Winternitz) and the resorts dancer Johnny Castle (Paul-Michael Jones). The story highlights issues of class arising from the love affair along with issues of loyalty, family and right from wrong. This is a classic story of true love conquering all.
Flawless dance moves can be seen from beginning to end which are combined with seamless set changes and fabulous effects created by set designer Stephen Brimson Lewis. All the Dirty Dancing favourites are in there inclu...
