Julian Essex-Spurrier to Lead 5th Annual AN EVENING OF DIRTY DANCING UK Tour

Stage Acts Entertainment's smash hit tribute to the greatest movie soundtrack of all time, An Evening of Dirty Dancing: The Tribute Show this year reaches a milestone achievement. Celebrating 5 years of touring across the UK and internationally, and having visited over 100 theatres, the fully choreographed highly interactive celebration of the music from the iconic movie will embark upon the Hey Baby 5th Anniversary Tour in February and continue through 2015.

Musical theatre stalwart Julian Essex-Spurrier will return to lead the production having played a number of 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 will be joined by Aimie Atkinson, winner of the BBC Radio 2 Voice of Musical Theatre who returns to the production for a third season having recently played the leading roles of Penny in Carnaby Street The Musical and Chloe in the Take That musical, Never Forget.

An Evening of Dirty Dancing: The Tribute Show is directed by Paul Spicer with choreogra- phy by Leanne Harwood and pays homage to the greatest movie soundtrack of all time. A high energy emotional roller-coaster with breathtaking choreography and buckets of nostalgia including 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 get out of their seats and immerse themselves in the summer of '63. People leave the theatre on a real high. I've seen someone 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."
