BACK in 1987 a low-budget film captured the hearts of cinemagoers the world over as two relatively unknown performers – Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey – danced their way to movie immortality, and $214m at the box office.
Since then, generation after generation has continued to take the legendary production – Dirty Dancing – to their hearts.
A Night of Dirty Dancing – the ultimate tribute show – fast forwards theatregoers to Kellerman’s end of season show, retelling the tale from an alternative perspective, and still featuring the hits from everyone’s favourite dance movie.
Recast and rescripted for 2016, more than 100 dates are already scheduled for the 150-day tour period, including a Winchester Guildhall date on May 14.
Dirty Dancing's score inlcuded She’s Like the Wind, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Hey Baby, Wipeout, Do You Love Me, Be My Baby, Hungry Eyes and the Oscar-winning (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.
Fans are invited to take a trip back to the summer of ’63, to relive Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s sizzling performance in the ultimate coming of age romance.
