ALDWYCH THEATRE

Its the Summer of 1963, and 17 year old  Frances 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, 'Baby' shows little interest in the resort activities, and instead discovers her own entertainment when she stumbles upon the staff quarters when an all-night dance party is in full swing. 

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.  'Baby's' life is about to change forever as she is thrown in the deep end as Johnny's leading lady both on-stage and off with breathtaking consequences.

First dance. First love. You'll have 'the time of your life!'

‘That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me Baby and it didn’t occur to me to mind…’

Experience the excitement and passion of the classic story as never before with brand new scenes written especially for the stage. Now with more Baby and Johnny, more sensational dancing and even more classic songs - you're sure to have 'the time of your life!'

Featuring the hit songs from the best selling movie soundtrack including; (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life, Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby and Do You Love Me?
