The sleeper hit of 1987 that just won't die has been reborn yet again with the North American premiere of Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story on Stage in Toronto last week.
Long-winded, slightly presumptuous title aside, who wouldn't want to see some bare-chested Swayze wannabe gettin' down-and-dirty-and-deflowerin' with a Jennifer Grey look-alike (seriously, the actress pictured above looks like she got her nose off Grey's plastic surgeon's floor) to the tunes of The Ronettes, The Contours and ... Patrick Swayze.
A British import, the homage to the favorite movie (ever) of every woman pushin' 40 I know has already been extended through June. An American production will open in Chicago next fall, but you can get a gander at it now in this promo video (dig those cheesy rear-projections). For more information on all these international productions, visit the show's official website.
