Director Lonny Price Brings Fresh Take to ‘Dirty Dancing’ Tour

The pre-Broadway tour of ‘Dirty Dancing’ is making its way back to Chicago. This time, distinguished director Lonny Price promises a fresh take on the classic story. The production is set to perform at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, bringing new life to the iconic tale of Baby and Johnny.

In previous tours, the show leaned heavily on video elements, catering to die-hard fans of the original film. However, Price has revamped the approach. He aims to present a more dynamic and engaging experience for the audience. The goal is to capture the essence of the story in a way that feels both authentic and innovative.

The Chicago production features a talented cast, including Josef Brown as Johnny Castle, Amanda Leigh Cobb as Baby, and Britta Lazenga as Penny. Their chemistry and dance performances promise to captivate theatergoers in new ways.

This new adaptation offers a unique perspective on how Baby’s journey unfolds, adding depth to the familiar narrative. It provides an opportunity for both first-time viewers and returning fans to experience the magic of ‘Dirty Dancing’ from a fresh angle.
