DIRTY DANCING MUSICAL SET FOR BROADWAY

A stage version of PATRICK SWAYZE's hit movie DIRTY DANCING is heading to Broadway, according to New York theatre gossips.
After wowing audiences in Australia, England and Canada, stage bosses are planning to try out productions in Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles, before taking the show to Broadway next autumn (09).
According to Daily Variety it is expected to fill the gap left at New York's Neil Simon Theater by Hairspray, which ends its run next year.
The 1987 movie - on which the musical is based - starred Swayze as a summer camp dance instructor and Jennifer Grey as the protege who falls for him.
