ELEANOR BERGSTEIN (Writer) is a novelist, screenwriter, producer and director. Her stories have been published in national magazines, ranging from Transatlantic Review to Redbook and Cosmopolitan. Her first novel, Advancing Paul Newman, about women and politics in the 1960s, was published by the Viking Press, and her first movie script was It’s My Turn, starring Jill Clayburgh and Michael Douglas. Her second novel, Ex-Lover, about sexual obsession, was published by Random House. She has worked on a variety of film projects, including the final script revision of Sister Act. She then wrote and directed Let It Be Me, which starred Campbell



Scott, Jennifer Beals, Leslie Caron and Patrick Stewart. Her most famous project was one of the most successful independent films of all time, Dirty Dancing. It was the unique continuing response to the story over the years that made her decide to reimagine Dirty Dancing as a stage event. The multiple viewings by audiences all over the world made her suspect that what the audiences really wanted was to be more physi-cally involved in the story. This would mean that its ultimate form should be one that com-bined dance and story and music onstage in a new way. It was also her chance to add new scenes not in the movie, as well as songs she had wanted for the movie and been unable to obtain. Ms. Bergstein, through her company Magic Hour Productions, is at work on a new stage musical set in London in the late 1960s, a new work of fiction, and preparing a film to be shot in Rome as well as film to be shot in Slovenia.

JAMES POWELL (Director) most recently directed the hugely popular re-imagined Cam-eron Mackintosh production of Les Misérables, which began in the UK and then a US tour, Spain, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia and Broadway. As an Associate Director, James has mounted 1st class productions of Cam-eron Mackintosh and Disney’s Mary Poppins throughout the world. He is delighted to be back at the helm of Dirty Dancing, after directing this version in London, Toronto, Holland, Germany, and now the USA.

In 1996, Kate was awarded the Robert Helpmann Scholarship for Choreo-graphic Excellence enabling her to create her first solo work Face Value which was awarded a Green Room and a MO Award. In 1997 she directed Under the Influence for Legs on the Wall, which premiered in Sydney and toured to the Edinburgh Fringe and Riverside Studios, London.

A note from the creator...I was blessed in my original collaborators on the film. Their vision and friendship was what made it possible for us to find enough truth to reach our lovely audience. I thank them all—for their commitment, their kindness and their talent. To my beloved Emile Ardolino, who I dare to hope is smiling on us, to David Chapman whose brilliance as a designer let us turn a low-budget movie into a world of radiance and glamour, and to my dear friend, Kenny Ortega. Kenny’s contribution went far beyond his electric and dynamic choreography. It was and is his spirit, his joy and passion for movement and the pursuit of joy—for dance as the defining point of happiness—that we have kept in our hearts and our spirits on our journey to the stage. Thank you, my beloved Kenny, thank you all.

—Eleanor Bergstein

Welcome back to Century II and our 2016–17 Broadway season presentation of a live musical

version of the movie favorite DIRTY DANCING. It’s been thirty years since Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey sizzled the screen in this romance full of great ballroom dancing. It’s no wonder Broadway came calling to retell this tale of triumph against the odds. Speaking of Broadway, it’s a boom year for new musicals in New York. In the race for Best Revival, Bette Midler and Glenn Close will be starring in new productions of HELLO DOLLY! and SUNSET BOULEVARD respectively, with MISS SAIGON, FAL SETTOS and the Jake Gyllenhaal-starring SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE on that list as well. The newest shows to join the ranks of million dollar musicals (shows that sell more than a million dollars in tickets each week) are DEAR EVAN HANSEN and the Josh Groban-starring NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812. And the stars further align when Patti LuPone and

Christine Ebersole come to town as dueling fashionistas Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden in WAR PAINT. We hope you enjoy the show. Don’t miss our our special return engagement of STOMP in May and all of the excitement of our 2017-18 season, including Tony® Award-winning Best Musicals KINKY BOOTS, RENT and A GENTLEMEN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER and the Broadway hit MOTOWN. Visit us at BroadwayWichita.com for more information. Like us on Facebook at Wichita Theater League for insider information on everything Broadway as well as backstage features, contests and special discounts. For you Twitter fans, follow us @BroadwayKS and check out tweets from the road and more exclusive Broadway content. Don’t forget to use #KSBWAY when posting about your night at the theater.
