DIRTY DANCING OPENS AT SYDNEY LYRIC THEATRE

Ten years after its world premiere in Sydney, the worldwide hit musical Dirty Dancing has made a triumphant return to the Harbour City. The new production of Dirty Dancing will play at the Sydney Lyric Theatre for a strictly limited season and features a cast of vibrant up and coming performers including Kurt Phelan in the role of charismatic dance teacher Johnny Castle and Kirby Burgess as young Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman.

Producer John Frost said, “We have assembled an exceptional cast for this 10th Anniversary production of Dirty Dancing. Dirty Dancing is a wonderful Australian success story, and I’m thrilled to bring it back to Australia. The stage musical gives audiences the chance to hear the songs from the hit film performed live and to experience the breathtaking dance routines. Now, ten years after the world premiere in Sydney, it returns home to where the magic began with a sensational new cast, and audiences can again have the time of their lives.”

Featuring hit songs including Hungry Eyes, Hey! Baby, Do You Love Me?and the iconic (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life, Dirty Dancing has become one of the most popular musical productions of all time.
