James D. Smith will play the role of Billy Kostecki in the Adelaide season of the hit musical Dirty Dancing.
“Billy is a dream role. I get to sing some of the greatest songs in Dirty Dancing, including ‘In The Still of the Night’ and ‘(I’ve had) The Time of my Life’,” said Smith. “I’ve had many wonderful experiences singing in Adelaide and I can’t wait to get back and perform at the Adelaide Festival Centre.”
James D. Smith has performed his own concerts at The Promethean in Adelaide, and supported Pete Murray and The Whitlams at the Closing Concert of the 2013 Adelaide Fringe Festival. His last performance on stage at the Adelaide Festival Centre was as the munchkin Boq in the Australian tour of the Broadway blockbuster Wicked in 2011.
Due to huge demand, new tickets for the Adelaide season of Dirty Dancing have been released.
Ten years after its world premiere in Sydney, the worldwide hit show returned to Australia in 2014 with sell-out seasons at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre, Melbourne’s Princess Theatre, Brisbane’s Lyric Theatre and is currently entertaining audiences at Perth’s Crown Theatre, before arriving at Adelaide’s Festival Theatre from 2 October. With an exciting cast and high energy performances this is a ‘feel good’ phenomenon that captures all the amazing moments from the ’87 cult classic movie.
