You'll have the time of your life watching this classic at King's Theatre this week. Featuring phenomenal choreography, catchy tunes and impressive production value, Federico Bellone's Dirty Dancing is entertaining, exciting and oh so enticing. Like Baby, nobody puts this show in the corner!

What did our critic think of DIRTY DANCING THE ORIGINAL LIVE ON TOUR at WIENER STADTHALLE? 'No one puts baby in a corner.' One of the most iconic movie quotes of all time, embossed by Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle. The movie became a phenomenon, but it took years to convince Eleanor Bergstein to transfer it into a Live Action experience. Bergstein hesitated, but after all, she decided it was time for audiences to become a part of the story they love.
