Last thursday was the long awaited night at the theatre to see Dirty Dancing! 5 of us went so we made a night of it and went out for dinner beforehand to a chain pub called the Walkabout. It's Australian themed and serves stuff like kangaroo burgers and VB, and a drink called a snake bite. Not sure whats in that, something red, but it's so popular with anitpodeans that it's known as a snakey. I didn't have either a snakey, or a VB (yik).Dirty Dancing itself was fantastic, but one of those things where it could never be as good as the movie. I had very high expectations - it used to be my favourit-est movie (yeah ok, it still is!) and I used to know all the lines, so the stage production was going to have to be a masterpiece to be better. It was almost line for line to the movie, and the dance routines were what made it. All the classic songs were done, and thankfully no-one sang She's Like the Wind - only Patrick Swayze can sing that.
I came away having really enjoyed it, and wishing I could dance like that..!

Neen you know you will always dance like that, but then waking up gets in the way :-)
