About Dirty Dancing: The Musical
Set against the unforgettable summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing: The Musical follows Frances 'Baby' Houseman as she discovers love, passion and independence through her relationship with charismatic dance instructor Johnny Castle. With live music from the original film, Dirty Dancing: The Musical is the feel-good escape audiences have been craving, alive with the pulse of electrified dancing, the thrill of secret encounters and the allure of forbidden romance.
Dirty Dancing: The Musical will be directed by Tony Award nominee, Obie Award winner and two-time Emmy Award winner Lonny Price (Sunset Boulevard, Sweeney Todd), who played Neil Kellerman in the original Dirty Dancing film, with choreography by Darrell Grand Moultrie (Fat Ham, Beyonce's World Tour). Bringing to the stage the celebrated story from Eleanor Bergstein - the original screenwriter of the film - the musical captures the pulse, romance and youthful urgency that have defined Dirty Dancing for nearly four decades.
With a fresh creative approach to the timeless love story, this new production will tour North America with an aim to reconnect audiences with the heart, heat and rebellious spirit that made Dirty Dancing a worldwide sensation.

The original film is one of Lionsgate's all-time best-selling library titles. The studio is currently producing a Dirty Dancing sequel starring Jennifer Grey - from The Hunger Games producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

About Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical
Audiences will discover the magic of Dr. Seuss' classic holiday tale as it comes to life live on stage. Featuring the hit songs 'You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch' and 'Welcome Christmas,' The Grinch discovers there's more to Christmas than he bargained for in this heart-warming holiday classic. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is 'two sizes too small,' decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday-loving Whos.
The Grinch broke box office records for two consecutive years on Broadway during its holiday engagements at the St. James and Hilton theaters in New York. Since then, more than 2.5 million theatergoers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming holiday musical, which Gannett hailed as 'A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults.'
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features magnificent sets designed by John Lee Beatty and costumes designed by Robert Morgan, inspired by Dr. Seuss' original book. Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason's music and book breathe new life into this timeless story.
The 2026 production is directed by Matt August and co-directed and choreographed by Bob Richard, based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by 4-time Tony Award-winning director, Jack O'Brien.
