The producers of Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage, one of the most successful musicals in West End history, are holding auditions in Cardiff, Birmingham and Edinburgh to find performers to star in the first ever national tour of the production.
The show is lined up to play the Edinburgh Playhouse from Tuesday 4 December 2012 to Saturday 12 January 2013.
Dirty Dancing is the classic story of the iconic ‘Johnny Castle’ and idealistic ‘Baby Houseman’, played so memorably by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in the 1987 movie. Since its announcement in November 2010, ticket sales have exceeded £10m for the first seven cities currently on sale, with many performances already sold out.
