A TRIBUTE to one of the greatest movie soundtrack of all time - Dirty Dancing - is returning to Scarborough for a third year running.

Dirty Dancing: The Tribute Show is at Scarborough Spa on Friday.

Embarking on its fifth anniversary tour, the show is a fully choreographed, highly interactive celebration of the music from the iconic movie.

Musical theatre stalwart Julian Essex-Spurrier will lead the production having played numerous iconic leading roles, including Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, Rocky in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Riff in West Side Story and Rusty in Starlight Express.

He is joined by Aimie Atkinson, who was the winner of the BBC Radio 2 Voice of Musical Theatre and re-turns to the production for a third season having recently played the leading role of Penny in Carnaby Street The Musical and Chloe in the Take That musical, Never Forget.

High energy emotional roller-coaster of an evening with breathtaking choreography and buckets of nostalgia. Includes the classic songs: Big Girls Don’t Cry, Hey Baby, Wipeout, Do You Love Me, Hungry Eyes and the Oscar-winning (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.

Paul Spicer said: “The atmosphere is always electric. We totally encourage our audiences to sing and dance and immerse themselves in the summer of 1963. I watch people leave the theatre on a real high.

"I’ve seen people burst into tears of happiness. This is a multi-award winning soundtrack steeped in nostalgia. I challenge anyone to come along and not have a fantastic time.”
