Dirty Dancing - Starring Ray Quinn and Johnny Wright

Canadian dancer Johnny Wright, who previously performed in the Dirty Dancing Toronto production, continues to play dance instructor 'Johnny Castle' - made famous in an iconic on-screen performance by Patrick Swayze. X factor runner up Ray Quinn also stars in the show, playing Johnny's cousin, 'Billy Kostecki'.

With 55 songs and 73 scene changes Dirty Dancing on Stage continues to recreate the appeal of the memorable movie, as Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman blossoms from daddy’s girl to precocious young woman, under the guidance of strapping dance instructor Johnny Castle. With sizzling choreography and a talented cast oozing sex appeal, this dose of 80s nostalgia will continue to give fans the time of their lives this Christmas!
