Dirty Dancing comes to Manchester this week with an extra performance added

Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story On Stage arrives in Manchester this week and an extra performance has been added to meet demand.

Seen by millions across the globe, the worldwide smash hit tells the classic 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'.

Described as a 'fantastic, emotional and triumphant live stage show', it features 35 hit songs from the film, including Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby, Do You Love Me? and (I've Had) The Time of My Life.

Dirty Dancing –The Classic Story On Stage originally opened at London’s Aldwych Theatre in 2006 with a record-breaking advance of £15m, making it the fastest ever selling show in West End theatre history.

The production became the longest running show in the history of the Aldwych Theatre and played to over two million people during its five-year run.

The 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey became a cult classic and is still a huge hit today.

It's recommended for ages 12 plus and the show runs for two hours and 25 minutes including an interval.
