I also learned that there is a live production version of the movie that is playing around the world &#8211; if its anywhere near here, I imagine I&#8217;ll be taking Stephanie to see that too. The cool part for me was the audience interaction. All those women clapping, laughing, whoa&#8217;ing when they saw Patrick Swayze&#8217;s naked backside.
