A new concert tour that shows the classic movie Dirty Dancing alongside West End performers and a live band is playing a tour of the UK.
Dirty Dancing in Concert will star Rebecca Gilliland (Wicked, The Hired Man, The Clockmaker’s Daughter), Daniel Len (The King and I, Walk Like a Man) and Luke John Walsh (Songs For a New World, We Will Rock You, Chess), leading the 2024 UK and EU Tour starting this March.
This live film-to-concert experience will play the digitally remastered hit film on a full-size cinema screen, with a live band, led by musical director Elliot Davis and live singers.
Dirty Dancing, written by Eleanor Bergstein, directed by Emile Ardolino, and starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, was a worldwide box-office hit when it was released in 1987. Its soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles, including the Academy Award-winning best original song “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” Grossing more than $213 million worldwide, Dirty Dancing captured the hearts of audiences everywhere.
Set in the summer of 1963, Baby Houseman and her family vacation to the beautiful Catskills resort, Kellerman’s. Intrigued by the staff’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle, and the vastly different lifestyle of others, Baby finds herself learning to dance while having the time of her life and falling in love.
Dirty Dancing in Concert will tour in the UK in spring 2024 to 12 cities, including London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo on 19 March 2024.
