Dirty Dancing is going on tour next year with a live orchestra, and while we can’t exactly say we’ve never felt this way before – after all, films in concert are all the rage these days – we are very excited to tell you all about this new screening experience.

The 1987 classic, starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, will be shown at 14 venues across the UK next spring. In March, the tour will be starting off in Brighton before going on to theatres in London, Sheffield, Glasgow and more.

During the experience, the audience will watch mesmerised as the film plays out on the big screen, meanwhile the iconic soundtrack, which is decked out with every 1960’s classic you could think of, gets performed live on stage by a group of singers and an orchestra. That’s right, from Hungry Eyes to She’s Like the Wind to Big Girls Don’t Cry, the audience will be treated to a series of incredible live renditions.

This puts a spin on the usual film-concert experience, like The Holiday in concert, Home Alone in concert and Video Games in concert, as these scores are purely instrumental. But this time, you’re essentially getting one of your favourite movies and a '60s tribute band all at once!

So, lets hop off to the Catskills and find out how to get tickets.
