Pop star turned TV star turned West End regular Ray Quinn will join the cast of Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych Theatre from the 26 July – 27 November 2010.

It’s hard to believe that Quinn first became a household name on the X-Factor up against the incredibly talented Leona Lewis. Although Quinn’s music and TV career never really took off, his West End career is another story. Fans flocked to the Piccadilly Theatre last year to see Quinn as Danny in Grease. The same success will hopefully be repeated when he plays Billy Kostecki (Johnny Castle's cousin).

Quinn comments, “I’m delighted to have been given this opportunity to join this iconic show. I have watched Dirty Dancing many times and can’t wait to take on this perfect role in such a great show”.

Jacobsen Entertainment, the producers of Dirty Dancing added: “We are so pleased that Ray will be joining us as part of this strong and talented new company, that will take the production into its triumphant fifth year in the West End”.

The show features the well loved songs from the film "Do You Love Me?" and "(I’ve Had) the Time of My Life". Canadian Johnny Wright will transfer from the Toronto production to play Johnny Castle and Hannah Vassallo will continue as Baby.
