Dirty Dancing (Manchester) Theatre breaks

About the show

The cinematic vehicle that flung Patrick Swayze to stardom will be forever remembered as a classic Hollywood romance. This classic has been brought to the stage without losing any of its exuberant charm or moving storytelling.

The intelligent, well behaved and ultimately college-bound Frances Houseman (known as Baby) is on holiday with her family, when she discovers an underground world of dirty dancing and sensuous R & B rhythms. The catalyst for Baby’s discovery is Johnny Castle, the holiday resort’s dance instructor. As their love develops, the twists and turns of this rich story come to life in moving scenes and euphoric dances.
