DIRTY DANCING
https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/1035390
Starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Gray and Jerry Orbach
Experience the film that became a legend on The Strand’s enormous 30′ screen in true digital HD and 39 speaker surround-sound!
Spending the summer at a Catskills resort with her family, Frances “Baby” Houseman falls in love with the camp’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle.
Patrick Swayze had to convince Jennifer Grey to be in this film because she disliked him so much while filming Red Dawn (1984).
The Pembroke, Virginia resort where many Kellerman’s scenes were filmed hosts three Dirty Dancing-themed weekends a year, including dinners, a sock hop, a screening of the movie, a watermelon toss, group dance lessons, and a Dirty Dancing scavenger hunt are just some of the many activities on the agenda.
Relations between the two main stars varied throughout production. They had already had trouble getting along in their previous project, Red Dawn (1984), and worked things out enough to have an extremely positive screen-test. Still, that initial cooperation soon faded, and they were quickly “facing off” before every scene. There was concern among the production staff that the animosity between the two stars would endanger the filming of the love scenes. To address this, Eleanor Bergstein and Emile Ardolino forced the stars to re-watch their initial screen-tests, the ones with the “breathtaking” chemistry. This had the desired effect, and Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey were able to return to the film with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
