I saw Dirty Dancing in the early performances in Chicago and really wasn't sure what to expect as I had heard that the music wasn't live and it wasn't a proper musical. I have to say, being a big fan of the movie, i wasn't sure how they were going to put it on stage without losing some really key moments. i was so delighted to see that they have taken all the best bits of the film and made them better! most of the music is live and time of my life sounded better than the original when performed live! the music which isn't live is also great as using the original recording really takes you back to the first time you saw the movie. the dancing is AMAZING. and the cast are perfect! i watched the movie again the other day and really missed seeing the extra scenes which they have added to the show. Anyway, highly recommend seeing this show. It is the best show I have seen in Chicago!
