Dirty Dancing to return to the West End in 2027

Dirty Dancing will return to the West End early next year.

The musical is based on the classic 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey and features hit songs such as “Hungry Eyes”, “Hey! Baby”, “Do You Love Me?” and “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life”.

Dirty Dancing received its West End premiere at the Aldwych Theatre in 2006, where it ran for five years. It has since gone on to tour the world and returned to the West End in 2013, playing at the Piccadilly Theatre. It then returned again to the Phoenix Theatre in 2016, and had runs at the Dominion Theatre in 2022 and 2023.

It will now run at the Prince Edward Theatre from January 2027 for a limited season, with full details to be announced soon.

The news comes following the postponement of the opening of the new Capital Theatre, where Dirty Dancing was due to run as the venue’s first show.
