The iconic story of Baby and Johnny, featuring the hit songs 'Hungry Eyes', ‘Hey! Baby’, ‘Do You Love Me?’ and the heart stopping ‘(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life’, returns to the stage, previewing at Milton Keybnes Theatre, there-after Dirty Dancing will go on to entertain audiences across the UK and Ireland until the summer of 2027.
Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage originally opened at London’s Aldwych Theatre in 2006 with a record-breaking advance of £15 million, making it the fastest ever selling show in West End theatre history. The production became the longest running show in the history of the Aldwych Theatre and played to over 2 million people during its triumphant 5-year run.
Produced by Karl Sydow in association with Lionsgate, Magic Hour Productions and Ivan MacTaggart Co-Producer for Freedom Riders; written by Eleanor Bergstein - script writer of the phenomenally successful 1987 film - the production features the much-loved characters and original dialogue from the iconic film.
