Dirty Dancing cast enjoy Liverpool sunshine ahead of Liverpool Empire show

Dirty Dancing is coming to Liverpool Empire from 13-17 June 2023.

The cast of Dirty Dancing enjoyed the sunshine in Liverpool this week ahead of the show’s run at the Empire Theatre later this month. 

Michael O’Reilly who plays Johnny and Kira Malou who plays Baby performed the famous ‘lift’ and posed for photographs in Ste George’s Quarter including outside the Walker Art Gallery and on the famous St George’s Hall steps.

Don’t miss your chance to see this sensational production when it plays the Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 13^th to Saturday 17^th June.

Seen by millions across the globe this worldwide smash hit tells the classic story of Baby and Johnny, two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds, who come together in what will be the most challenging and triumphant summer of their lives.

It’s the summer of 1963, and 17 year-old Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman is about to learn some major lessons in life as well as a thing or two about dancing. On holiday in New York’s Catskill Mountains with her older sister and parents, she shows little interest in the resort activities, and instead discovers her own entertainment when she stumbles across an all-night dance party at the staff quarters. Mesmerised by the raunchy dance moves and the pounding rhythms, Baby can’t wait to be part of the scene, especially when she catches sight of Johnny Castle the resort dance instructor. Her life is about to change forever as she is thrown in at the deep end as Johnny’s leading lady both on-stage and off, and two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds come together in what will be the most challenging and triumphant summer of their lives.

Exploding with heart-pounding music, breathtaking emotion and sensationally sexy dancing, this triumphant stage production, inspired by the wildly popular film, follows the iconic story of Baby and Johnny. Featuring the hit songs ‘Hungry Eyes’, ‘Hey! Baby’, ‘Do You Love Me?’ and the heart-stopping ‘(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life’.

Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage is produced by Karl Sydow in association with Lionsgate and Magic Hour Productions.

Dirty Dancing is on at Liverpool Empire Theatre from Tue 13^th – Sat 17^th June. Tickets start from £13 and you can book yours here Atgtickets.com/Liverpool.
