Based on the beloved 1987 film, Dirty Dancing brings the iconic story of Baby and Johnny to the stage with all the passion, romance, and unforgettable music that made the original a cultural phenomenon. This musical adaptation captures the coming-of-age tale set in the summer of 1963 at Kellerman's resort in the Catskills, where sheltered teenager Frances 'Baby' Houseman discovers love, independence, and her own voice through dance. The stage version has been praised for its faithful adaptation and spectacular choreography that brings the film's most memorable moments to vivid life.
