DIRTY DANCING TOUR
Dirty Dancing is going on UK tour beginning in September 2011 at the Bristol Hippodrome..
Set in the the summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing tells the story of 17 year old Frances "Baby" Houseman and how she learns some major lessons in life and a a thing or two about dancing!
While on holiday in New York's Catskill Mountains with her parent Baby shows no interest in the resort activities, until she stumbles across a staff party and catches sight of Johnny Castle the resort dance instructor (originally played by Patrick Swayze in the film of the same name).
Baby's life changes forever as she is thrown in at the deep end as Johnny's leading lady both on and off stage.
Dirty Dancing is a fabulous musical journey with some incredible dance routines. It has no less than 35 songs, including “Hungry Eyes”, “Hey Baby”, “Do You Love Me?” and the classic “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life.”
