They said it was raunchier than ever, and they weren't kidding.

As well as raucous moves we all expect from Dirty Dancing, an adaptation on Dartford's stage this week certainly doesn't shy away from the more salacious moments.

So if you're going with your family, parents, aunts, grandmothers, be prepared for your face to flush as well as your feet to tap and your hips to wiggle.

Dartford is the second venue in a new UK tour after coming over from Italy under the producer Karl Sydow, and the show delivers everything you would expect - and more.

The classic story of Baby and Johnny features the hit songs Hungry Eyes, Do You Love Me? and (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life.

It stars Lewis Griffiths as Johnny Castle, with Katie Hartland making her professional musical theatre debut carrying the watermelons as Baby Houseman and Carlie Milner as dancer Penny Johnson.

If you like reciting the movie line for line, you can with this show.

'I carried a watermelon', 'nobody puts baby in the corner', 'go back to your play pen, baby' and even 'Pachanga!' are all in there to soothe the needs die hard fans in the audience.

But be prepared, because there are a few surprise entries too, including songs, and a tap dance.

Some were welcome, some less so. There were one or two occasions where an addition to the script seemed unnecessary and left you wondering if was merely just to allow for a costume change.

On the flip side, one new song left the audience moved and got one of the biggest cheers of the night.

A bare-bottomed Johnny Castle was also an unexpected turn up I don't remember from the film. Given the roar, shrieks and claps from the audience I think we can safely say that was a good add on.

The much-loved storyline remains the same. It's the summer of 1963, and 17-year-old Frances “Baby” Houseman is about to learn some major lessons in life as well as a thing or two about dancing.

On holiday in New York’s Catskill Mountains she stumbles across a dance party. Mesmerised by the dance moves she can’t wait to be part of the scene, especially when she catches sight of Johnny Castle the resort dance instructor.

While I wasn't enamoured with every little change, the production is almost perfectly true to the film, and keeps the feel-good atmosphere.

The dancing, as you would expect, is spot on - and visually the show is brilliant.

Everybody was up and dancing by the end and yes, they do the lift.

Already mid way through it's run, the show is on at Dartford’s Orchard Theatre until Saturday, September 10.
