Dirty Dancing, a hit movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, is about to hit the small screen. ABC is currently booking Dirty Dancing, a TV movie starring Abigail Breslin. The show is produced by Lion Gate TV, and after the casting is finished, you may be able to get the green light all the way through ABC. Like the 1987 movie, Dirty Dancing is still set in the 1960s and tells the story of an innocent young girl, Baby (Breslin), who falls in love with her dance instructor while following her parents and sister to Catskill Mountains on vacation. Grey played the role in the original film. Allison Shearmur and Eleanor Bergstein, the screenwriter of the original film, act as executive producers of the play. The screenplay is written by Jessica Sharzer, directed by Wayne Blair, and choreographed by the popular Broadway musical Hamilton.
