Dirty Dancing Mambos to Manchester, 22 Nov, 2011

Date: 29 October 2010

Dirty Dancing - the hit West End muscial based on the iconic film is heading out on tour next year and Manchester is one of the stops.

Now in its fifth year at the Aldwych Theatre, Dirty Dancing, opened in the West End in 2006, breaking all box office records with advanced ticket sales of over £15 million, which made it the fastest selling show in West End history. It has since played to over 1 million people, receiving nightly standing ovations and continuing to enthrall and delight, and as a result, over 250,000 tickets have just been put on sale, extending the London run to 29th October 2011.

The success of the London show, which will continue to play at the Aldwych Theatre, has led to overwhelming demand from fans to experience the iconic love story in their home cities, and the producers are therefore delighted to announce this major new venture for the production.

Dirty Dancing plays at the Palace Theatre, Manchester from Tuesday 22nd November 2011 to Saturday 7th January 2012 and casting is yet to be announced.
