Stage preview: Screenwriter took her time bringing 'Dirty Dancing' to stage

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: It took 25 years and a Bruce Springsteen concert for screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein to adapt “Dirty Dancing” into a live musical. Now, 10 years old and a success from Australia to Europe, the show is on its maiden U.S. tour and fast approaching Pittsburgh.

“It was suggested to me about 20 minutes after it came out,” the writer and former dirty dancer said of bringing Johnny and Baby to the stage.
