What Is Dirty Dancing About?
It’s 1963, and Frances "Baby" Houseman is on vacation at a Jewish summer camp in the Catskill Mountains. On the cusp of womanhood, when Baby attends a “dirty dancing” party for the resort staff, the last thing she expects is to fall for charismatic working-class dance instructor Johnny Castle. Baby is soon drawn into his world and has her eyes opened to the privilege that surrounds her, but when complications arise and Baby must support her friend Penny, who is dealing with an unwanted pregnancy, Baby and Johnny are soon torn apart. Can the two reconcile before Baby leaves the resort for good?
This musical adaptation features a live band, a company of over 40 performers and features all of the movie's iconic moments, alongside sizzling choreography, that famous life and all of your favourite songs from the film, including “Do You Love Me?”, “Hungry Eyes”, and, of course, “(I've Had) The Time of My Life”.
The History of Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is based on the 1987 romantic drama dance film of the same name, starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze, which drew from the screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein's own childhood experiences of dance camp. The film was a huge success, earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Musical or Comedy Film, and winning the Academy Award and a Grammy for Best Original Song for "(I've Had) The Time of My Life". The musical adaptation premiered in Sydney in 2004, before transferring to London in 2006, breaking the record for the highest amount of pre-sold tickets for a show in London. The production ran for 5 years before embarking on UK and International tours, and has returned to London three times since, most recently in 2023.
