I carried a watermelon
by Frulie on 2023-11-11Abbotsford Centre - AbbotsfordRating: 5 out of 5I can't begin to tell you how fun this event was - but I'm going to try! The crowd's energy was the first thing that really grabbed me, even before anything happened! It was clear that there was no doubt why everyone was there! That said, I don't believe many folks were really sure what 'In Concert' really meant before it started. Once the lights went down, and we got our first glimpse of what we were in for (live singers, live band and a lot of memories) everyone was on board and ready to see Dirty Dancing in a new way. If the band and the singers weren't up for the job, it would have been very disappointing, but they were amazing! Big shout-out to the band - everyone was incredible. The crowd ate up the sax player's rifs, cheered the drummer on Wipeout and sang along on every song! The singers played along with the crowd's reactions to our favorite parts, and seemed to be having as much fun as we were! At the end, the band was able to play a recap of all the truncated movie numbers, and added in some dance moves of their own! I was shocked that it was only 9:15 when we were heading for the doors. I could have stayed all night! For the smokers and the small of bladder, there is an intermission to take advantage of. If you are interested in attending #dirtydancinginconcert, I highly recommend it! It's really hard to find an event that pleases everyone, and I would argue that this one comes very, very close! Grab your watermelon and do not pass up this evening of quality entertainment!
