The Dirty Dancing musical has added an extra show at Newcastle's Theatre Royal in 2027 after what the venue described as 'overwhelming' demand for tickets.
The UK touring production, based on the 1987 film, is set to run on Grey Street from Tuesday, February 9 to Saturday, February 13. A new 2pm matinee on February 10 has now been added to the schedule, with tickets on sale.
Return to Newcastle
The show is no stranger to Newcastle, having appeared at the Theatre Royal a number of times in the last decade alone. It previously played at the Sunderland Empire earlier this year, where it drew five-star reviews and had audiences dancing in the aisles.
Dirty Dancing made the transition from screen to stage in the late 2000s, first delighting audiences in London's West End before embarking on many UK tours.
Story and soundtrack
The musical tells the classic story of Baby and Johnny, two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds, who come together during the most unforgettable summer of their lives.
It features iconic songs including 'Hungry Eyes', 'Hey! Baby', 'Do You Love Me?' and '(I've Had) The Time of My Life'. The new touring production brings the passion, romance and excitement of the beloved film to the stage.
