Dirty Dancing Review

Overall Rating

Creative Scenery, Penny, the Interval

wooden acting, lack of atmosphere/ audience participation

We had booked this show months in advance and were really looking forward to it only to be hugely disappointed.
Dirty Dancing is an iconic film that admittedly lays down a huge gauntlet to those trying to recreate it, and unfortunately this cast did not even come close.
The acting was wooden and cringeworthy at times with no real chemistry between any of the lead roles.
And if you are expecting a dancing in the aisles spectacular - Forget It!! Singing and dancing -even when seated seems to be forbidden at all costs. We witnessed the ushers speaking to several different people who apart from some mild arm waving and such like did not appear to be doing anything wrong......
