Broadway Musical Adaptation of Dirty Dancing Planned

Lionsgate and Path Entertainment Group are set to launch 'Dirty Dancing: The Musical', a new Broadway adaptation of the beloved 1987 film, in late 2025. The production will be directed by Lonny Price, who acted in the original movie, with the screenplay's writer, Eleanor Bergstein, involved in crafting the book for the musical. This fresh adaptation promises to deliver iconic moments, unforgettable songs, and electrifying dance sequences while reimagining elements of the story to resonate with modern audiences. Following its North American debut, plans are in place for an international rollout, including markets in Asia, Australia, and Latin America. The musical aims to celebrate themes of empowerment and personal growth, maintaining the spirit of the original film while introducing new choreography and potentially new music. This production builds on the film's legacy, which has inspired various adaptations and remains a cultural touchstone since its release.
