that was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind...

I saw 'Dirty Dancing' last night. It was amazingly cheesy and completely fantastic.

Let me start off by explaining to you how much I love the movie Dirty Dancing. Everything about that movie is fantastic and so entertaining, I remember the first time I saw it, I was like 8 or 9 and it was on TV and I watched it with Amanda Williams. It was an edited version obviously, and I had no idea what anything was about, but I loved it.

When I found out that there was a stage version of the show playing here in London I knew I just had to see it, and thats exactly what I did. Natalie, Caitlin and I had seats in the stalls (that's the main floor area) three rows from the back, our view was a bit obstructed from the overhang of the balcony above, and it was completely fine with me. I seriously was just happy to be there. Line for line the show followed the script of the movie, for the most part. There were bits of information thrown in about what exactly a freedom ride was and what was happening in the US during the 1960s (I assume this was since we're in England, and the people here might not have learned that in history class).

As much as I loved the show I was a bit disappointed with the acting. It was obvious they looked for dancers first and actors second, but with a show like Dirty Dancing I don't think it could have been done any other way. I must say, I love all of the music from that time, I probably should have lived in the 1960s.

I dont really know what else to say about it, other than I absolutely loved it and I kind of want to go see it again...dorky I know, especially because it was really cheesy, it actually kind of reminded me of a high school play, but I just loved it. The next show I want to see is 'Love Never Dies'. It's the sequel to 'The Phantom of The Opera' and it just premiered 2 nights ago. I SO want to see it, hopefully I can make that happen.

Well I'm off to eat a quick lunch and go to school, I have a paper to turn in and no idea where the room I turn it into is, wish me luck!
