BABIES will be put in the corner (well, left with the husbands anyway) come next February with the announcement that a hit West End show based on the 80s favourite, Dirty Dancing is coming to the INEC in Killarney.

It might be a year away, but you can be sure Tralee will be emptied of women of all ages when the show comes to the famous venue from February 27 to March 4 in 2017. Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning.

‘Dirty Dancing –The Classic Story On Stage’ originally opened at London’s Aldwych Theatre in 2006 with a record-breaking advance of £15 million, making it the fastest ever selling show in West End theatre history.

The production became the longest running show in the history of the Aldwych Theatre and played to over 2,000,000 people during its triumphant five year run.

Since its Australian debut in 2004, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage, has become a worldwide phenomenon, with productions staged in New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore and throughout Europe, consistently breaking box office records.

Recent sell out tours include France, Germany and Australia. The first ever UK tour of Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage, which launched in 2011, took an unprecedented £42,000,000 at theatres across the country. In 2013, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage returned to the West End and played at the Piccadilly Theatre in London until 23 February 2014, prior to launching a second UK and Ireland tour.

We’d give a synopsis of the plot, but if you’re already reading this, chances are you can recite the dialogue to the movie. The production features the much-loved characters and original dialogue from the iconic film, with exciting extra scenes added in.

Tickets from €38.50 available from www.inec.ie or www.ticketmaster.ie from 10am  tomorrow Thursday, March 3.
