About Dirty Dancing

In 2004, the movie was translated into a stage musical, Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage, which opened in Sydney, Australia, in November 2005. Produced by Jacobsen Entertainment at a cost of $6.5 million, it was written by Eleanor Bergstein to have the same songs as the film, plus a few extra scenes. Musical direction was by Chong Lim, and the initial production starred Kym Valentine as Baby, and Sydney Dance Company's Josef Brown as Johnny. The production was a success in Sydney, selling over 200,000 tickets during its six-month run.

According to a report in October 2006 from CNN, a New York production is in the planning stage. In May 2007, the show has begun breaking box office records in its first North American city, Toronto, even though it is not set to open until October 31, 2007. After Toronto, plans are to expand to Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles and possibly San Francisco before moving to Broadway.

Within the City of Westminster, the entertainment district of the West End has its focus around Leicester Square, where London and world film premieres are held, and Piccadilly Circus, with its giant electronic advertisements. London's theatre district is here, as are many cinemas, bars, clubs and restaurants, including the city's Chinatown district, and just to the east is Covent Garden, an area housing speciality shops. Shoreditch and Hoxton in the East End form a second, less mainstream, focus of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and galleries. Islington's one mile (2 km) long Upper Street, extending northwards from The Angel, has more bars and restaurants than any other street in the UK. It was also the first street in the UK to have wireless enabled for its cafes.
