    I had a look on multimap.com and they say:

    Nearest transport link

    Please zoom in for local transport information.

    <TABLE><CAPTION>Nearest transport link</CAPTION><TBODY><TR><TH>Tube:</TH><TD>Leicester Square (0.12mi, 0.19km)</TD></TR><TR><TH>Railway:</TH><TD>Charing Cross (0.12mi, 0.19km)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


    and this is what the ENO website has to say (Hope the link works)

    I'm sorry :( I feel bad now!

    Don't worry about it, it's my fault for being impatient :D Plus I had to leave work early so I would have gone with that anyway :)

    I would have still strongly leant toward 38, even though I was wrong about *all* the words (spoken or sung) being in that script.

    When Baby & Johnny sing 'Love Is Strange', the lyrics sung *are* in the script I posted.
    The lyrics to Patrick Swayze's 'She's Like The Wind', however, are not.

    I'm not sure that the word Baby is sung anywhere in the film though (including 'She's Like The Wind'), other than 'Love Is Strange'.

    That's why I would have said 38 :)

    seems we were both wrong Mark :-)

    Question
    How many times is the word “baby” said or sung during the film Dirty Dancing? (give as numerical character eg: "14")
    Answer
    53

    now im even more confused :-)
