As the classic story turns 25 (the film opened in 1987) Dirty Dancing, the West End stage show, opens at Leeds Grand Theatre on Tuesday May 29th and runs until Saturday 23rd June.

Seen by millions across the globe, Dirty Dancing tells the iconic love 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.  

“It’s the first time I’ve played Leeds Grand Theatre,” says Paul-Michael Jones who takes the lead role of Johnny.  “My family are from the area though and I understand the Yorkshire audiences enjoy a good night out so I have no doubt that will be great fun!  I’m really looking forward to it.”

Written by Eleanor Bergstein, script writer and creator of the film, the show features all the much-loved characters and original dialogue.  The brand new choreography and dance sequences are set to the hits from the film’s soundtrack including ‘Do You Love Me?’, ‘Hungry Eyes’ and the Academy Award Winning ‘(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life’. With more songs that weren’t on the original recording and extra scenes added Dirty Dancing on stage promises to a unique live experience.

Dirty Dancing is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Tuesday May 29th to Saturday 23rd June.  Tickets are still available and are priced from £15 to £48.50.
