Dirty Dancing at the new Capital Theatre announces rescheduled London opening date and ticket plans

The refreshed plans for Dirty Dancing at the new Capital Theatre in west London have been confirmed.

The theatre, which has pushed back its opening from this autumn to next year, will feature a purpose-built, 620-seat auditorium, designed by the same team responsible for notable London venues including the Bridge Theatre and the transformed Kit Kat Club, home of Cabaret.

The theatre will host Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage in a new production. The piece has enjoyed a decade of sold-out runs across the UK.

Performances will now begin on Friday 16 October 2026, with tickets going on sale next Monday, 1 December 2025.

The statement: 

“The producers of Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage announce today that performances will begin on Friday 16 October 2026 at the brand-new Capital Theatre at Westfield London.  Tickets will be on public sale from Monday 1 December 2025.

“Further details about both the theatre and new production will be announced in due course. The producers would again like to thank audiences for their patience during the construction of the theatre and can’t wait to welcome them to this thrilling new theatrical space to have the ‘Time Of Their Lives’.”
