‘Dirty Dancing’ Being Adapted As A New Broadway-Bound Stage Musical

Lionsgate is developing Dirty Dancing: The Musical for Broadway debut in late 2025, with plans to expand globally. The production, based on the 1987 film, will follow Frances “Baby” Houseman and Johnny Castle’s story with iconic elements reimagined. The musical will feature new choreography, staging, and possibly songs, aiming to resonate with modern audiences. Lionsgate seeks to capture the film’s magic, anticipating a successful adaptation in line with its box office success: the film has grossed over $200 million since its release in 1987. Previous stage versions have seen acclaim globally, but this will mark the first Broadway production.
