I went to see the Dirty Dancing musical in Toronto last night with my sister. It was fabulous. It made me remember why I loved the movie so much. We really enjoyed ourselves. I must say that I missed looking at Patrick Swayze though :)
Melissa O'Neil (who won the 2005 season of Canadian Idol) was in it. I thought she was great.
Ben Mingay (Billy) closed the show with "I've had the time of my life". It gave me goosebumps on my arms. I bought the CD on my way out.
I would recommend this show to anyone.
The only downfall was the seats in the Royal Alexandra Theatre. Everyone was complaining of sore backs and numb butts during the intermission. Maybe they should spend some of the money they charge for the memorabilia on new seats. I'm sure people would pay big money to buy the old seats as souvenirs.
