Smash-hit West End show Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage is coming back to London!
Based on the much-loved movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, this acclaimed live stage production of Dirty Dancing is opening in brand new London venue the Capital Theatre, from October 2025.
The Capital Theatre is a new, 620-seat purpose-built venue at Westfield in West London, where every seat in the intimate auditorium offers a fantastic view, and you’re never more than 9 rows from the stage.
The show transports the audience back to Kellerman’s resort in the summer of 1963, where Baby first meets charismatic dance instructor Johnny Castle and quickly becomes drawn into his world.
Dirty Dancing features a live band and company of over 40 performers, reimagining the iconic tale and all your favourite moments – from Baby’s memorable moment of “carrying a watermelon” to her heartwarming transformation and the unforgettable final dance that proves “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
The show boasts sexy choreography, that famous lift and the classic soundtrack of 35 hit songs including Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby, Do You Love Me? and the heart stopping (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life, played live.
