Due to continuing planning permission delays with Hammersmith and Fulham Borough Council which are beyond the producer’s control, the Capital Theatre at Westfield London has been unavoidably further delayed.
Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage will instead run at the Prince Edward Theatre in the West End from January 2027 for a limited season with full details to be announced soon.
All Capital Theatre ticket holders are being contacted directly regarding their booking and will have special access to tickets for the Prince Edward season. The producers apologise for the inconvenience that this may cause and thank audiences for their patience during the construction of the theatre. New dates for Dirty Dancing at the Capital Theatre will be announced in due course.
This does not affect the UK and Ireland tour of Dirty Dancing which is now playing across the country, welcoming audiences on its new critically-acclaimed hit tour currently running to Summer 2027.
Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage, the record-breaking global hit, today announces a return to the West End in a strictly limited season at the Prince Edward Theatre from 19 January to 24 April 2027.
Lead casting and the first cast images are also released.
Priority booking opens today followed by general on sale at 10am on 6 October. Tickets are available at delfontmackintosh.co.uk
Following hugely successful productions in Paris, the West End and a UK tour, audience favourite Michael O’Reilly (West Side Story, Lord of the Flies) returns as charismatic dance instructor Johnny Castle. He will lead the company alongside Pippa Jackson who producers are delighted to introduce in her professional stage debut taking on the iconic role of Baby Houseman and Emily Layden-Fritz (CATS!, Let Me Entertain You) in the role of dance partner Penny Johnson.
The celebrated production brings to life the iconic tale and memorable moments from Kellerman’s resort in the summer of ’63 – from Baby’s “carrying a watermelon” to her heartwarming transformation and the unforgettable final dance that proves “Nobody puts Baby in a corner”. The production features the classic soundtrack of 35 hit songs including Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby, Do You Love Me? and the heart stopping (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.
The creative team will feature Director and Set Designer Federico Bellone, Choreographer Austin Wilks, Music Supervisor Richard John, Lighting Designer Valerio Tiberi, Sound Designer Chris Whybrow, Associate Director Juliet Gough, Costume Designer Jennifer Irwin, Casting Director Harry Blumenau CDG CSA, and Production Manager Pete Kramer. The Associate Producer is Russ Spencer, the co-producer is Ivan Mactaggart with General Management by New Road Theatricals.
