You’re in for a delight at MK theatre this
week, where you will be transported back to the summer of ’63 with the classic
story of Dirty Dancing adapted for the stage.
The stage set was sublime – 3 key pieces
that twisted and turned to transport you across the Kellerman Resort as we
follow Baby, Johnny and friends on their whirlwind dancing shenanigans. Couple
that with excellent lighting and some special effects you’ll be hooked from
start to finish.
I can’t quite believe how perfect the
casting was, the characters were uncannily like the leads from the original
movie (Baby, Johnny and Billy especially). So many of us are fond of the movie,
knowing the famous phrases and words to most of the songs, that it was great to
be so familiar with the stage performance even though we hadn’t seen it before.
And yes, she carries a watermelon!
A bit of eye candy for the ladies when we
see more than we bargained for from Johnny and then the final scene where they
make the lift perfectly had the audience cheering.
Dirty Dancing runs until 29th
April at Milton Keynes Theatre
You will not want to miss this one. Tickets
