As we wait in eager anticipation for the West End production of the hit movie, we can but twirl our way through the long, hard weeks, dreaming of watermelons and breathing things like "JONNY" in husky tones. It's difficult, we know. But fear not, we haven't got too long to wait now. The time of our lives is almost upon us, (yay!)
But, will it be as good as the movie? What will Kellermans look like on stage? Will Baby's nose be that wonky? Will her sister still look like a horse? How will they do the water scene - you know - the one where hot-bodied Jonny lifted her up in the lake and all our pre-teen, angst ridden hearts broke just a little in the knowledge that no matter how many times we practiced "the lift", we would never progress to the nearby lake, and even if we did, we'd get our tutu wrapped round a shopping trolley and end up in Casualty. Oh and of course, we also knew that before we could get anywhere near the lake-lifting-stage, we'd have to partner up with pimpled-faced Paul from Year 8 who had no muscles and a bad case of halitosis. Hardly a Swayzee, really. Sometimes it's better to dream.
While we're dreaming of opening night, (a week tomorrow!) on October 24th, we can while away the hours with Richard Dempsey's Dirty Dancing Diary Richard plays Neil Kellerman so he's in a prime position to give us the goss on all the backstage action. If it's anything like the behind-the-scenes naughtiness of Kellerman's summer camp, we're in for a few surprises.
And if you haven't got your tickets yet, (gasp - what happened?), you'd better book 'em up quick. Lastminute.com have still got some
available from February.
Well,... good things come to those who wait. Just look, Baby got Jonny, didn't she...
