MadeleineRiley's review of Dirty Dancing the Musical

“Uninspiring”

★★☆☆☆

written by MadeleineRiley on 11/04/2015

I saw this last night in Pittsburgh. I wish I hadn't. The acting was terrible. Johnny garbled his words and came across as a thug which made him unlikeable. The entire production felt stiff and uninspiring. The dancing was mechanical and repetitious which disappointed me the most. I could not wait for the show to end.

I agree completely! I also saw the show in Pittsburgh, and was disappointed on the lack of emotion and energy from the main characters. Some of the greatest scenes in the movie received no emotion and enthusiasm from the actors playing Baby and Johnny! The actor playing Johnny had the same monotone voice throughout the entire show.
Also, the added scenes in the play completely ruined the performance as well. The play was 2 hours long, so I think they could have stuck to the movie which is also 2 hours. Very disappointing!
