“When did they rewrite it?”

written by Nonnie1 on 15/06/2015

Just finished seeing Dirty Dancing the Musical in Indy. "When did they re-write the story?" Saw it several years ago in Chicago and it stayed pretty true to the original movie and was pretty good.

This version added a whole section on the Civil Rights movement, several unnecessary scenes with Penny and Doctor/Mrs. Houseman and a scene with the staff thinking about jumping in the pool at Kellerman's but Johnny stops them, I thought it was that they re-wrote the "Fight Harder" scene but that took place a little later. None of these extra scenes added to the story, they just made the story stall.
They restaged the show from when I had seen it before. Now it has all this video which worked in some settings but was totally cheesy in other settings was disappointing/distracting. And the scene in the car with Baby changing after the number at the Shelldrake very lame.

Dancing was good but not great and there didn't seem to be any chemistry between the actors playing Johnny and Baby.
