'Dirty Dancing' Is Coming To Secret Cinema In 2020 So 'Nobody Put Baby In The Corner'

Johnny Castle famously says in Dirty Dancing: "You just put your pickle on everybody's plate, college boy, and leave the hard stuff to me".

And now you can have the 'Time of Your Life' watching him deliver that line over again as Secret Cinema have announced they'll be bringing the eighties classic to London in 2020.

Celebrating of one the most loved rom-coms, the immersive cinema troupe will take over an unknown outdoor location in the capital to bring us Dirty Dancing from 22^nd July.

The fictitious Kellerman's Resort will be brought to life with the help live music, special set design and their squad of actor alongside the immersive screenings.

And don't worry if you "can't even do the merengue" because they'll be dance classes too.

Dirty Dancing follows Frances 'Baby' Houseman, a young woman who falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle at a holiday resort in the 1960s - but that's only the tip of the iceberg.

With an incredible soundtrack jam packed with absolute classics, the flick is filled with iconic dance numbers and iconic lines, such as "I carried a watermelon" and "Nobody puts baby in the corner".

When the film was released in 1987 it became a box office hit. In fact, the film was so well-loved that it managed to be the first ever movie to sell more than a million copies on home video.

The fan favourite stars Patrick Swayze as Johnny and Jennifer Grey as Baby.

Secret Cinema have previously staged a Dirty Dancing-themed event in 2016 - and it proved so popular they've decided to bring back again.

Lucy Ridley, creative director of Secret Cinema Presents Dirty Dancing said: "Our outdoor experiences are a celebration of the summer, and this iconic movie epitomises and honours that perfectly.

"We're delighted to return to this film and can't wait to share the summer of '63 with you."

Currently, Secret Cinema is midway through their Stranger Things series, which will run until February 2020.

Tickets for the event go on sale at 9am on Monday, 16th December and it will run for only two weeks. Prices start at £49 + booking fee. You can buy yours here.
