The smash-hit stage adaptation Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage has extended its London run, with performances now booking until 11 July 2026 at the Capital Theatre, Westfield White City.
Originally scheduled to run from 23 October 2025 to 1 March 2026, the production has added new dates, giving fans more opportunities to experience the much-loved stage version of the classic film.
Based on the iconic 1987 movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, Dirty Dancing transports audiences to Kellerman’s resort in the summer of 1963, where Frances “Baby” Houseman meets charismatic dance instructor Johnny Castle and is drawn into a world of music, rebellion and passion.
The show features a company of over 40 performers and a live band playing a soundtrack of 35 unforgettable songs, including Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby, Do You Love Me?, and the Oscar-winning (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life — complete with the legendary final lift.
The stage adaptation, written by original screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein, has previously enjoyed multiple runs in the West End and on UK tour. It is produced by Karl Sydow in association with Lionsgate and Magic Hour Productions.
The production will be the first major show to open at the brand-new Capital Theatre, a 620-seat venue at Westfield White City, designed to offer an intimate audience experience with no seat more than nine rows from the stage.
Casting and full creative team for the new London run are still to be announced.
Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage plays at the Capital Theatre, London, from 23 October 2025 and is now booking to 11 July 2026. Tickets are available now.
