Get ready to have the time of your life – as a classic story is heading to York.
Based on the iconic Academy Award-winning film, Dirty Dancing in Concert is bringing its magic back on a world tour spanning more than 100 cities – including York!
Dirty Dancing in Concert is at York Barbican on Thursday 28 May.
Revisit the enduring love story of Baby and Johnny in a screening of the digitally remastered movie while a live band and vocalists perform the hit songs in sync with a full-size screen on stage.
The show then continues on with an incredible after-party, where the audience is encouraged to sing and dance to their favourite songs from the feature film and relive their best movie memories.
The live experience is brought together by Lionsgate, GEA Live and Karl Sydow, in collaboration with Senbla.
“Dirty Dancing has always been more than just a movie – it’s a cultural touchstone that continues to resonate across generations,” said Floris Douwes, producer and managing director at GEA Live.
“We’re ecstatic to have the opportunity to bring this live-to-film celebration back to audiences around the world, combining the magic of the original film with the energy of a live concert.
“Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or the fiftieth, this experience invites fans to fall in love with Baby and Johnny all over again – and dance the night away.”
A timeless classic, Lionsgate’s Dirty Dancing is the story of summertime romance with a beloved soundtrack and memorable dancing scenes. Released in 1987, the film became an international box office phenomenon, and stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
The soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and numerous singles, including the Academy Award-winning Best Original Song ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.’
The film also spawned a television series, multiple competition reality shows, a prequel film, a stage production with sold-out performances around the world, a made-for-television musical adaptation and a Lionsgate sequel film in development.
