"...Dirty Dancing is a theatrical thrill ride that is waiting for you at The National Theatre! Based on the 1987 film of the same name, Dirty Dancing explores adolescent love, loss of innocence, social class conflicts, and the meaning of family, against a backdrop of spectacular music and breath-taking dance numbers. Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote the screenplay for the legendary film, adapted the script for the stage and combined it with a bountiful buffet of classic rock, pop, Latin, and soul music from a variety of composers."

"...The show is terrific. In the National Theatre’s current production, directed by James Powell, Jillian Mueller is delightful as Francis “Baby” Houseman, the sheltered doctor’s daughter who learns more than the mambo in the arms of the hotel’s dancing instructor. Samuel Pergande smolders as Johnny Castle, the man with the all the right moves. Pergande’s background is more dance than acting, but Johnny Castle always said more with his hips than his lips anyway."

"...Smartly devised, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage is written to allow its actors, singers and dancers to do what they do best. The singers sing, the actors act, the dancers dance and those that can truly do both are featured to the best advantage. Jenlee Shallow, a lithe and graceful dancer and dynamic vocalist, opens the production as a sensationally posed shadow projected the height of the theatre, setting the tone for the entire performance (“Opening/This Magic Moment Merengue”)."

The night is absolutely owned by honest-to-god Jennifer Grey lookalike Jillian Mueller, she of off-the-chart charisma, comic timing and, when the time comes to bust it out, smoking sexiness.
