Like most 80’s girls, I wanted to dance with and fall in
love with "a Patrick Swayze" after
watching the romance that he had with Jennifer
Grey in the 1987 iconic
movie, Dirty Dancing. Of course this movie contained a lot
of dancing but it was the passion between the rich girl and the boy from the
other side of the tracks, the idea of being daring, and the transformation of
both characters through the power of dance and love, that turned this low budget
film into hit (not to mention Swayze's dancing and physique). I wondered if the musical stage production of
Dirty Dancing at Heinz Hall could reproduce that passion.
