About Dirty Dancing
Have the time of your life at Dirty Dancing, the sensational stage adaptation of the beloved 1987 film, returning to the West End at the Prince Edward Theatre. Book Dirty Dancing tickets on London Theatre.
Dirty Dancing in London takes audiences to the summer of 1963, when 17-year-old Frances “Baby” Houseman spends the holidays with her family at Kellerman’s resort. What’s supposed to be an ordinary family vacation takes an unexpected turn when Baby discovers a world of dancing far away from the activities her parents have planned.
At the heart of this world is Johnny Castle, the resort’s charismatic dance instructor. As Baby is drawn further into Johnny’s life, the pair spark a relationship that blurs the boundaries surrounding them. Over one intense, unforgettable summer, Baby must confront class prejudices and family expectations as her understanding of the world drastically transforms.
Michael O’Reilly returns as Johnny Castle after playing the role across the West End, UK tours, and Paris. Pippa Jackson makes her professional stage debut as Baby Houseman, alongside Emily Layden-Fritz as Penny Johnson.
Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote the screenplay for the original film, also writes for the stage production. Federico Bellone directs and designs the set, with choreography by Austin Wilks, costumes by Jennifer Irwin, lighting by Valerio Tiberi, sound by Chris Whybrow, and music supervision by Richard John.
Dirty Dancing is a musical featuring favourite hits like “Hungry Eyes,” “Hey! Baby,” “Do You Love Me?” and “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” This unforgettable show brings Baby and Johnny’s romance and that legendary lift to the West End once again in a dazzling production.
