Dirty Dancing in London
Dirty Dancing – Captivating, uplifting, gritty
You’ll have the time of your life. And you will carry a watermelon! If you get what I mean, you’ll have seen the film starring the late and sadly missed Patrick Swayze. A genuinely charming man. This production does the film more than justice, with absolutely stunning choreography. Wow!
Dirty Dancing - The story
It's the summer of 1963. Seventeen year old Frances Houseman, nicknamed Baby, is right on the edge of adulthood. On a family holiday she discovers an unexpected amount about herself, womanhood, the grown up world and, of course, dancing. Not the polite kind. The dirty kind.
At first the mellow Catskills holiday resort doesn’t seem to offer much entertainment for Baby. Until she discovers the exciting, darker side of the place when she stumbles upon the staff quarters, where there’s a party in full swing. It’s no ordinary party – they’re dancing like nothing she’s seen before. It’s raw. It’s raunchy. At the centre of everything there’s the gorgeous Johnny Castle, the resort’s charismatic dance instructor. And she’s spellbound.
Not a baby for much longer, she’s soon involved to a deeper level than she’d imagined possible, dancing with Johnny, discovering a natural talent for it and falling truly, madly and deeply in love.
A heart-pounding affair
Expect breath-taking dance routines and you won’t be disappointed. Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story on Stage is a heart-pounding affair packed with passion and full of sensationally sexy dance moves. It’s colourful, vibrant, exciting, thrilling… a splendid version of the story of the most challenging and joyful summer in two fiercely independent young people’s lives.
Searing hot tunes
Sing along to Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby, Do You Love Me?, the classic I’ve Had The Time Of My Life and loads more. This is a real feel good show - you’ll leave with a huge smile on your face!

Nostalgic blissDirty dancing in London is a feel good back to the 80,s moment. Good vibes, memorable music and tap along to tunes from the past. Similar to Summer Holiday mode with the 60 s being the generation uplift. What spoilt this show was the large groups …and female duos in the audience who just got too over excited at the sight of a very good looking guy…with a fantastic physique I add, take his shirt off a couple of times. Totally inappropriate behaviour for a theatre goer in my opinion. Be aware, this happens quite often apparently so if you’re sitting next to a group or two, you will miss a lot of the dialogue…shame.

Lack of songs for being a musicalI hadn't thought of that before but a film that has very few famous songs transfers badly to a musical. First half of show was particularly confusing. Second half got better. Dancing was good but I lacked good music.

Doesn't live up to its billing.I found that the production values were more aligned with those of a provincial theatre than the West End; some of the musical performances were good and the dancing was well-executed, but only Kira Malou, in the lead role of Frances "Baby" Houseman, offered an acting performance of any note. For a production billed as "The biggest live theatre sensation of all time", it can only be described as disappointing. It failed to draw a standing ovation and nobody left the theatre singing - not to mention that one of the film's most famous songs, She's Like The Wind, was performed only in part as an instrumental.

Not the best stage version of a film but enjoyable.The show starts quite badly with the story not coming across that clearly - if you hadn’t seen the film you’d not really know what was going on - and the acting was pretty poor. The dancing made up for it and the big finale made it all worthwhile. Would have liked to hear more singing of the songs in the film rather than just playing parts of them in the background. Not the best stage version of a film but enjoyable.
