Went to see Dirty Dancing at the theatre this evening. It was really good, but a a few things to note.
1) Why throw in all the segregation stuff? I get that it was a huge thing at the time in which the production was set, but it is a stage recreation of a film, in which it was never mentioned. It just seemed out of the blue and slowed down the plot somewhat.
2) Some of the actors voices annoyed me. Namely Johnny. I'm not sure if it was just the accent, but he just didn't sound right. To be fair, it may just be because he isn't Patrick Swayze, but as my mother pointed out, the new guy probably looks better right now.
3) Someone needs to oil the moving stage.
4) I have never heard an audience cheer like that for a half naked hot man putting his clothes on. Seriously, bigger cheers than when he was taking them off.
5) About a quarter of the audience gave a standing ovation for the last number. We were in that quarter. I can understand why the stalls didn't, because they couldn't see that we had, but the other half of the circle must just have been a load of miserable sods.
It was awesome though.
