Dirty Dancing
Audiences all around the world know the songs, the dance moves and the iconic line, “Nobody puts baby in the corner.”
Dirty Dancing will be returning to the stages of Australia for the 10th Anniversary of the production.
Dancing behind the shadow of the legendary Patrick Swayze, Kurt Phelan will be playing the eminent character of Johnny Castle.
The NIDA graduate and acclaimed triple threat is determined to shine a new light and show off his unique dance moves as Johnny Castle.
“It is a privilege playing and dancing as Johnny Castle in the Australian production,” Phelan says. “Especially working alongside Kirby Burgess, Mark Vincent and Nadia Coote.”
Dirty Dancing is based in the summer of 1963, with Frances “Baby” Houseman going on a summer holiday with her family.
In the midst of taking dance classes and sneaking behind her family’s back, Baby and Johnny balance their hardship and misunderstandings on the dance floor where the feet do the talking.
First performed at the Theatre Royal in Sydney in November 2004, the production has broken international records over the past decade and is ready to take on Australian audiences once more! (EV)
Nov 28-Jan 11, Sydney Lyric Theatre, The Star, Pirrama Rd, Pyrmont, $59-203, ticketmaster.com.au
