Having finished its record-breaking run in the West End, Dirty Dancing now heads out on a UK & Ireland tour, returning to Leeds Grand Theatre from 6 – 10 June 2023.
Real-life couple Michael O’Reilly (West Side Story, Leicester Curve; Matthew Bourne’s Lord of the Flies, Theatre Royal Plymouth) and Kira Malou (Fame, Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre; Penny on Mars, Disney Plus) will reprise their roles as Johnny and Baby in Dirty Dancing on tour.
Producer Karl Sydow says:“I am thrilled about the success of the second Dominion Theatre season and to be going out on tour for the fifth time since 2011.We have an amazing cast for this new tour.”
Exploding with heart-pounding music, breathtaking emotion and sensationally sexy dancing, this triumphant stage production, inspired by the wildly popular film, follows the iconic 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. This worldwide smash hit features the classic songs Hungry Eyes, Hey! Baby, Do You Love Me? and the heart-stopping (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life.
Dirty Dancing, written by Eleanor Bergstein, is directed by Federico Bellone (West Side Story, Milan; Sunset Boulevard, Milan) and choreographed by Austin Wilks (Dirty Dancing, UK tour and Dominion Theatre).
Dirty Dancing is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 10 June 2023. Book tickets online at leedsheritagetheatres.com or call the Box Office on 0113 243 0808.
