Dirty Dancing Tickets Information

Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is a 1987 romance film. Written by Eleanor Bergstein, the film features Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Cynthia Rhodes, and Jerry Orbach. The story details the moment of time that a teenaged girl crosses over into womanhood, through a relationship with a dance instructor. Approximately one third of the movie involves dancing scenes, "the most goose bump-inducing dance scene in movie history."

Dirty Dancing became a massive hit. It has earned $US300 million worldwide, and was the first film to sell over one million copies on video. The Dirty Dancing soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles which won the Golden Globe and Academy Award, as well as a Grammy Award. The film spawned a sequel in 2004, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, as well as a stage version in 2005 which has had sellout performances in Australia, Germany, and the UK, and is scheduled to play in its first North American city, Toronto, in October 2007.

Production
Pre-production
Dirty Dancing is in large part based on screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein's own childhood. However, the producers cut an erotic dancing scene from the script, much to Bergstein's dismay. So she conceived of a new story, which would be focused almost exclusively on the dancing. In 1984 she pitched the idea to MGM executive Eileen Miselle, who liked it, sent Bergstein a contract, and then teamed her with experienced producer Linda Gottlieb.

Filming:
The tight schedule allowed only two weeks for rehearsal, and 44 days for filming. The cast lived together in the same hotel at Lake Lure and rehearsed

Post-production
On October 27, 1986, the shooting wrapped up, both on-time and on-budget. A rough cut was put together, but no one on the team liked it. In May 1987 the film was screened for producer Aaron Russo.

Legacy
The film's huge success had the paradoxical effect of backfiring on many of the participants. Both Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze found themselves heavily typecast. They either had difficulty finding other work, or appeared in several box-office flops.

Awards
Academy Award Golden Globe Awards, 1988 Grammy Awards, 1988

Stage version
In 2004, the movie was translated into a stage musical which opened in Sydney, Australia, in November 2005. Produced by Jacobsen Entertainment at a cost of $6.5 million, it was written by Eleanor Bergstein to have the same songs as the film, plus a few extra scenes. Musical direction was by Chong Lim, and the initial production starred Kym Valentine as Baby as Johnny. The production was a success in Sydney, selling over 200,000 tickets during its six-month run.

Other versions
Aside from the stage version, Dirty Dancing has appeared in multiple other forms. In 1988, "Dirty Dancing: Live in Concert", was a music tour featuring Bill Medley and Eric Carmen. It played 90 cities in three months.[4] Also in 1988, the CBS network launched a Dirty Dancing television series, but it had none of the original cast or staff. It starred Patrick Cassidy as Johnny and Melora Hardin as Baby, ran for 10 episodes and was then canceled in January 1989.

In 2004, a sequel to the film was released, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Although not a remake by any means, Havana Nights showcases a similar storyline about an American teenager relocated to Havana, Cuba, just before the revolution. Patrick Swayze was paid $5 million to appear in a cameo role as a dance teacher -- considerably more than the $200,000 he earned for the original version. For the 20th anniversary in 1987, a special edition DVD was released on May 8, 2007. Also to commemorate the August 2007 anniversary, Codemasters has announced that it will be releasing a videogame version of Dirty Dancing.
