'Dirty Dancing' tour a disappointing, color-by-number musical

It was announced on NPR's "All Things Considered" that a remake of the 1941 classic film "Citizen Kane" is premiering in Toronto.  Starring in the movie is Keanu Reeves as Charles Foster Kane, John Malkovich as the miserly guardian who fuels Kane's anger at the world, and Charlize Theron as the untalented singer who becomes Kane's second wife.

 

This story, of course, aired on April 1 - April Fool's Day.  

 

Is it April again?  The national tour of "Dirty Dancing," currently on stage at PlayhouseSquare, sure makes it feel like it is.
