Dirty Dancing Dances All the Way to the Top!

The production of “Dirty Dancing” in Toronto really rolled in the bucks for the week of December 26-30.  The proud producers apparently reported sales of $1,347,525 in the immediate days following the Christmas holiday.  “Dirty Dancing,” a popular film became a huge hit onstage in London and already brought in high revenue for Toronto.  Producer David Mirvish was quoted on Playbill.com as saying, “Over 90,000 people have attended Dirty Dancing in Toronto thus far.  This is certainly a show that has struck a chord with Canadian audiences.  It is accurate to describe Dirty Dancing as the kind of blockbuster that only comes along very rarely in the theatre.”

Dirty Dancing is the coming of age love story involving the talented dancer Johnny Castle and Frances “Baby” Houseman.  Against all odds these two young lovers join hands and show their passion for each other onstage at a summer holiday at the popular Kellerman’s resort.  The story is artfully performed on stage and is full of plenty of passionate moments.  There are also expectations that the production will eventually make it to Broadway in New York City.  Be sure not to miss out on all of the romance with your pair of Dirty Dancing tickets.
