Stage Acts Entertainment's smash hit tribute to one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time, "Av Evening of Dirty Dancing: The Tribute Show" has today announced new casting and autumn tour dates. Now in it's 4th smash-hit year, the show is a fully choreographed highly interactive celebration of the music from the iconic movie.

Musical theatre stalwart Julian Essex-Spurrier will lead the production having played a number of iconic leading roles including Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, Rocky in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Riff in West Side Story and Rusty in Starlight Express. He's joined by Tricia Adele-Turner who recently played Vivienne Kensington in Legally Blonde and Jane in Carnaby Street The Musical. The production will also welcome back Andy Rees who returns direct from playing Rocky in the UK tour of Tonight's The Night. It will also feature Christina Cuttell, James Williams-Davies, Matt Kors, Victoria Rachael Mccabe and Grace Reynolds.

An Evening of Dirty Dancing: The Tribute Show is directed by Paul Spicer with choreography by Leanne Harwood and pays homage to the greatest movie soundtrack of all time. A high energy emotional roller-coaster with breathtaking choreography and buckets of nostalgia including the classic songs: Big Girls Don't Cry, Hey Baby, Wipeout, Do You Love Me, Hungry Eyes and the Oscar-winning (I've Had) The Time of My Life.

Paul Spicer said "The atmosphere is always electric. We totally encourage our audiences to get out of their seats and immerse themselves in the summer of '63. People leave the theatre on a real high. I've seen someone burst into tears of happiness! This is a multi-award winning soundtrack steeped in nostalgia. I challenge anyone to come along and not have a fantastic time."
