Musical Moments – Dirty Dancing (Part 2)
I am heading to the Theatre tonight to see Dirty Dancing on stage. I had never really fancied it in all honesty, but I am eventually going to see what it is like. If I enjoy it, always difficult when they are based on a pretty iconic film and that is certainly the case with this one.
I have already done a post in the past with Time of My Life, so thought I would go for She’s Like the Wind for today’s musical moment!
I haven’t listened to anything from the show so that will be a slight surprise.
Tony Awards 2008!
A few days on ago on Facebook this incredible memory popped up from 2008 when I attended the Tony Awards in New York! An amazing evening seeing so many different people perform from so many outstanding shows. Watching In the Heights pick up the best new musical award, the night after seeing it on Broadway.
May 2017 at the Cinema
Into the fifth month of 2017 and I have managed to increase the number of films I got to see at the cinema back up to 10 this month, which actually includes two National Theatre Live productions of plays direct from the West End.
Cineworld Unlimited Card is £17.90 per month and I saw 8 films that qualified for the month which meant £2.23 per film. I had to pay for the Theatre productions £8.10 each, without an Unlimited card this is £16.99.
I saw the following films in May:
1st – Lady Macbeth – Review
2nd – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – Review
7th – Unlocked – Review
9th – A Dog’s Purpose – Review
11th – National Theatre Live: Obsession – Review
15th – Alien: Covenant – Review
18th – National Theatre Live: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? – Review
