Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage will embark on a 2023 tour including 2 weeks at the Winter Gardens Blackpool, from Wednesday 27 September – Saturday 07 October 2023.
Exploding with heart-pounding music, breath-taking emotion and sensationally sexy dancing, the stage production inspired by the hit film will once again come to life before your eyes with this fantastic, emotional and triumphant live show.
Producer Karl Sydow said, We can’t wait to bring this amazing show back to the Winter Gardens Blackpool following its incredible audience reception in the Summer of 2021. Now more than ever, theatre needs the excitement and joy that Dirty Dancing brings – you’ll have the time of your life!
Once again Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage will be directed by Federico Bellone (West Side Story, Milan; Sunset Boulevard, Milan) and choreographed by Austin Wilks.
Featuring the hit songs ‘Hungry Eyes’, ‘Hey! Baby’, ‘Do You Love Me?’ and the heart stopping ‘(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life’, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage follows the iconic story of 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 cast will be announced in due course.
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.
Since its Australian debut in 2004, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage has become a worldwide phenomenon, with productions staged in the USA, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore and throughout Europe, consistently breaking box office records. Recent sell out tours include France, Germany and Australia. The first ever UK tour of Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage launched in 2011 and then returned to the West End in 2013 playing at the Piccadilly Theatre in London, prior to launching a second UK and Ireland tour.
