The credit crunch may be affecting many business and some parts of the entertainment, but with over thirteen million people attending the theatre in 2007, it is pretty safe to say that the popularity of the west end is far from under threat.
Perhaps part of the reason is that increased stress in people’s working lives encourages them to look for ways to get away from it all. A night at the theatre certainly fulfils that need for escapism.
But one thing is for certain, in these tighter times people will be looking for better deals for their theatre tickets, and that is where online theatre ticket agents come into their own.
Websites like www.uktickets.co.uk specialise in getting their visitors the best tickets at the best prices for all of the most popular shows. So this is a great place to go for cheap dirty dancing tickets
One example of such a show is Dirty Dancing, which has never lost its appeal with theatre goers, even though it’s two decades since it first appeared on the big screens of the cinema.
The movie ‘Dirty Dancing’ was in fact so successful; that it triggered a number of spin offs, including an American TV show, a Musical tour, and even a computer game!
The theatre show has been even more successful than the movie though, with one particular show in 2004 selling well over two hundred thousand tickets in only 6 months.
When Dirty Dancing opened at the Aldwych theate (Oct 2006), it brought in the highest pre-sales in the London theatrical history, in fact, some of the weekend performances were selling out up to 6 months in advance.
Unlike some theatre shows, Dirty Dancing is actually pretty faithful to the movie, but it does have some extra parts slotted in especially for the stage, which enhances the performance.
