WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story on Stage is based on the hit 1987 film. It makes its U.S. premiere at Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre, followed by national tour stops in Los Angeles and Boston.
The musical is penned by Eleanor Bergstein, the film's screenwriter, and directed by James Powell, with choreography by Kate Champion. It tells the story of Frances "Baby" Houseman, a doctor's daughter, who falls for Johnny Castle, a talented, headstrong dancer from the wrong side of the tracks.
