The Time of Our Lives....

This past Thursday night we went in to Boston for the stage production of Dirty Dancing. This was a Christmas present that Andrew had gotten me and I couldn't have been more excited about seeing the live version of one of the most fabulously cheesy movies of all times. The stage production did not disappoint and if the movie is a 10 in cheese factor, the live version was a 17. Talk about hamming it up for all the best lines! "I carried a watermelon", "Spaghetti arms", and of course every one's favorite..."Nobody puts Baby in the corner". Each one delivered to the fullest and got a great reaction from the audience. We thoroughly enjoyed it and whispered all of our favorite lines to each other through the whole thing. As far as a professional stage production goes, it seems to need a little work before it hits Broadway in the fall...the music was good and a strong part of the play however the dancing wasn't as great as it should be...maybe it's because we happened to catch the understudy for Baby. The guy playing Johnny was no Patrick Swayze (but who is?) and his English accent was a bit distracting. But other than that...a great time to be had by all...I had to stop myself from buying a Kellerman's tee-shirt in the lobby on the way out! Here's few pictures from the night...unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of the "lift" during the finale...I got caught by an usher with my iPhone out!
