Get ready for the time of your life. Rumours in theatre-land have Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage returning to London’s Dominion Theatre in early 2023.
Based on the classic 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, Dirty Dancing the musical features 35 smash-hit songs including Hungry Eyes, Hey! Baby, Do You Love Me? and (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life.
Seen by millions worldwide, the story centres on Baby and Johnny, two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds, who come together in what will be the most challenging and triumphant summer of their lives.
The show was a huge success at the Dominion Theatre earlier this year, where it played a limited 10-week run with Michael O’Reilly as Johnny Castle and Kira Malou as Frances “Baby” Houseman.
Dirty Dancing features a script by Eleanor Bergstein, and is directed by Federico Bellone, with choreography by Austin Wilks and supervising musical director Richard John, costume designer Jennifer Irwin, lighting designer Valerio Tiberi and sound designer Armando Vertullo.
