The critical consensus

This isn’t a clever, groundbreaking or hugely inspiring production, in fact it’s severely flawed, yet it remains highly entertaining – it just wants you to have the time of your life and escape reality for a few hours. So, go shake your maracas.

***(*)(*)Lindsay Corr, Edinburgh Guide, 13/06/2017

When Dirty Dancing works, it soars – superb choreography combined with an unforgettable soundtrack. When it slumps, it slumps into the doldrums. Long periods of padding, draw out both acts, but when it finds familiar footing it doesn’t miss a beat.

***(*)(*)Dominic Corr, The Reviews Hub, 13/06/2017

For those who are fans of the movie, this production will not disappoint.

***(*)(*)Gregor Dickson, Broadway World, 16/06/2017

You can’t fault the production for being exactly what it was – a night of theatrical romantic one-liners, innuendos, unnecessary (but very enjoyable) topless stage moments and tremendous dirty dancing.

****(*)Sarah Virgo, Broadway Baby, 15/06/2017

It may be corny but the dancing, music and chemistry more than make up for it.

****(*)Aisling McGuire, The Wee Review, 15/06/2017

If this touring version of the story is often slightly shambolic in its effort to translate the film to the stage...there’s an intense sexual sweetness in the central love story, and a passion and joy in the dance sequences, that more than compensates.

***(*)(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 17/06/2017

Shakespeare, it ain’t. Instead it’s good, old-fashioned, escapist fun and if the ecstatic reaction of the audience is anything to go by, Dirty Dancing will continue to run and run.
