Nobody puts Baby in a corner - and now the most romantic story ever told arrives to open London’s brand-new Capital Theatre at Westfield London. Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story on Stage brings Eleanor Bergstein’s beloved screenplay to life in a reimagined production directed by Federico Bellone, with sensational new choreography by Chiara Vecchi.
In the summer of 1963, at a holiday resort in the Catskill Mountains, Frances “Baby” Houseman falls for the resort’s charismatic dance instructor, Johnny Castle. Over one unforgettable season of late-night rehearsals, forbidden romance and newfound freedom, an earnest, wide-eyed girl becomes a woman who knows exactly who she is - and learns the steps that will change her life.
Featuring a live band, a company of over 40 performers and a soundtrack of 35 hit songs - including “Hungry Eyes,” “She’s Like the Wind” and the legendary “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” - this is Dirty Dancing as it was always meant to be experienced: intimate, electric and impossibly alive, in a purpose-built 620-seat theatre where you’re never more than nine rows from the stage.
