Why Dirty Dancing Is a Must-See for Tourists

Their chemistry ignites a transformative journey of love, courage, and steamy dance moves. This reimagined production, featuring a cast and band of over 40 performers, delivers all your favorite moments—from Baby’s “I carried a watermelon” gaffe to the heart-stopping final lift. With 35 hit songs like Hungry Eyes, Do You Love Me?, and (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life, plus sensational choreography, Dirty Dancing is the ultimate feel-good show for tourists exploring London’s world-famous theatre scene.
